The Swiss police use fines as revenue generation
(But since two weeks' annual military duty is compulsory for all Swiss men, the chances are that the police are trained by the military by actually being in it part-time)

Surely it's essential for the cops to carry guns if everyone else is?

Aye. It is old (true) argument: If we outlaw guns, only outlaws will have guns.

it's the training that's the problem.

Perzactly. Let's face it, just like in any area: There are good cops and bad cops. Good bankers, bad bankers, good lawyers and bad lawyers. Training would probably weed out the yahoos right off.

I know they didn't shoot him. The military also could train police departments how to properly restrain a suspect or perpetrator. The cops let their anger get in the way of common sense. It isn't the first time cops have mishandled and killed a suspect.

Is there any reason to believe that the military are any better than the police in this regard?

And therein lies the rub. Anger management. Seems less like a training problem than a personality problem.

BTW & FWIW, the reason IDGAS is the same reason IDGAS about the POTUS elections; it makes no frikkin' difference one way or the other. There's a real world out there, and for most of us it's the one we can interact with, influence, and be influenced by.

What copz'n'blax in the US do to each other is little more than a sideshow.

But YDGAS. You started this thread. Duh. I'm thinking you got self-esteem issues.

I was really just commenting on what was really just a stupid, inflammatory headline on the BBC website. I have to admit that I didn't actually read the article (too long & boring). So, no, IRDGAS.

You may or may not be right about the self-esteem issues, I haven't given it any thought.

Why do you think it's stupid and inflammatory?

"What copz'n'blax in the US do to each other"

The issue is what cops (including black cops, as you noted) do to blacks.

Blacks don't really do anything to cops. There's no equivalency, so your phrasing is completely senseless.

I think you're actually pretty smart, so I can't understand why you resent the struggles of black people and news reporting about it. If you don't like international news, and you don't want to know what's going on in the world, nobody is forcing you to read about it. Bigotry can be a sign of insecurity.

It's rather like asking 'when did you stop beating your wife?', and it simplifies a complex issue suggesting that all police are bigots. I reality, I suspect that most are not, but are tainted by the few bad apples. Similarly, I suspect that a majority of blacks are law-abiding.

As for "blacks not really doing anything to cops", I'll take your word for it. I'm sure you know what you're talking about.

Institutional racism.

It's a thing.

Good commentary. Will you speak to the rest of the bigots in the U.S., please?

There are a few conditions that police will sometimes react to: Driving while black, walking while black, living being black, being in the wrong place while black.

I know it is hard for you to comprehend, but racism, particularly white-on black-racism - is still alive and well here in many parts of the U.S. It is much more subverted now, but it is still there. Black-on-white racism also exists and is just as wrong. But let me subjugate your particular race for about 400 years and see how you fare after that amount of time.

The old saw that blacks "sold their own into slavery" won't cut hot turds, so skip it.
