Officers train on de-escalation tactics

[@droolalot5795]

Police don't stop crime or reduce crime. At BEST they show up AFTER the crime and take a report. It's rare they get to a crime in progress. If they do, it may not matter (Uvalde).

What are you saying? That the Police is not essential? Maybe the criminal and the victim can fill an online report and we can retire the police? I hope that's not what you meant. Police can stop crime, they can deter crime, they can deescalate, prevent and interrupt. Police save lives every day while risking their own. Nobody is perfect, but they are heroes.

@@myteslaconviction2856 if your car was stolen and you called the cops, did the crime happen? If your home was burglarized and you call the cops, the crime already happened. If a bank was robbed, and the police are called... The bank was STILL robbed. So how did cops reduce crime? Do you know the NYPD annual budget? $10.8 billion. I bet if you took $2 billion of that budget and created jobs, the crime would be reduced. And police do not want to reduce crime. Crime is job security.
