Comment on Is cops being evil/lazy/incompetent a USA specific thing, or is it the same everywhere in the world?

Mandatory training to become a police officer:
- US: 600-700 hours on average, much of which is gun and combat training and not policing
- Canada 2080 hours
- Spain 2880 hours
- Germany 4000 hours
With that little time spent training and heavy combat focus a US cop might get as little as 2-4 weeks of training on everything that a cop does that doesn’t involve guns.
