    Good luck getting any of this changed.

    Iraqi war veterans they had better training during their “counter insurgency raids” due to officers being worried about pissing off local population.

    Clearly, police chiefs are not worried about this issue within the US?

    I wonder why

      To be fair we had a company piss off the locals. The town was green for everyone but them. We rolled through and it was falafel wraps and soccer balls. They rolled through and it was RPGs and IEDs. So we got an object lesson in not pissing off the locals. If America treated the police like that then the police might learn too. You can’t occupy 336 million people without their cooperation.
