If we just don't like how many times our law enforcement officers mess up, let's perk up and refine our hiring process, and our training process.
A Facebooker laments how often officers make mistakes, noting it is not the same for them as it is when a cashier makes a mistake.
So, what is the solution. To err is human, and we cannot leave them out of that gig.
But, perhaps we can reduce the tendency to error, in how we hire and how we train. We could screen out those who reflect biases, and those who reflect that their decisions might be clouded by pride, and those who have a tendency to make too many mistakes, and those who fly to anger too quickly, and those who are mistake prone, and those who believe in shooting to kill regardless of whether it is necessary.
Tis late, as per usual, but perhaps I will give it some thought, for surely you are saying this is easier said than done.
