Not only do cops need better training, but they need to be vetted before they can join a police force. I don't give a shit if my auto repair guy is half a bubble off, but a person who can take a life as part of their jobs better be one well adjusted person with their head on straight.
These police departments are releasing some bad hombres into society. All you need most of the time is a two year degree which doesn't necessarily have to be law enforcement related, and then a 16 week police academy training program.
They are vetted. I know a guy who works out at my gym, his son went through the tests to become a cop and they rejected him because they thought he was lying. He went to South Carolina and became a cop there. The people vetting need to know what the hell they are doing, too much of this insanity happens daily.

Obviously that process varies greatly. I agree that there should be some sort of approved standards for everyone involved in law enforcement hiring practices.
