Classical US defaultism
Related to what you said. But I love when British and European people say "oh, sucks how your cops are so racist". When theirs are. Lol
It's actually hard to become a policeman here. First you have to pass some tests to even get accepted to police school, then you have the basic training consisting of 19 months theoretical and 5 months practical training. Only after passing all the tests there, you can start as a low level policeman, requiring both more training and experience to progress.
Random people who just want to get into a position of power don't pass.
Not sure about rural towns but I'm pretty sure this is the case in most cities/big towns in the US as well. It's just that police training in the US tends to systemically filter decent human beings out of its system. Not exactly random, more like maximally bad by design 🙃
Ah thanks.
Average police training time in the USA is 21 weeks btw (less in weeks than ours in months)
The difference is in volume
