That said, police in America are stuck dealing with the consequences of many short-sighted policy decisions. They are not properly trained for social work, mental health services, and so on.
Most cops aren't properly trained to shoot a gun. Some have 1 training session per year and they have to hit 70% on a target 3 yards away. Most don't seem to know how to react in a confrontation or high-stress situation.
The system is flawed but people have personal responsibility too. You can't absolve someone of criminal acts by saying oh it's someone else's fault.
Seems like another one of those short-sighted policy decisions here...
But what about Sanskrit?
