Yes that’s the training?
The reality is that they abuse their power and rarely suffer consequences.
I know of cases in Australia where the punishment for violently assaulting an autistic man in his front lawn was the group of officers having to verbally apologise. One cop beat a man in his cell and was allowed to carry out working as he was retiring soon and got to keep his pension. Cops broke a gay man’s arm in a raid on a building full of innocent gay artists and suffered nothing. A precinct made commemorative mugs with racial slurs about African immigrants, they had to undergo some training about why racism is bad.
They would suffer serious consequences if they did this here.
