Law Enforcement should be a profession, just like doctors and nurses.
Formal education. Licensing with a college whose role is to protect the public. Malpractice insurance. Requirements to remain current, and eligible to practice.

It is, in most of the civilized world anyways
I wouldn't necessarily call it civilized world, but yeah for basically every country that belongs to the so called "1st world" except the US it is and it takes a few years to become a police officer.
Like where?
UK, Germany, France, Ukraine, Spani, Italy, .... should I go on?
You don't need to study to become a police officer in the US? OMFG! You have to study 1.5-2 years in the UK and then spend months in the field under supervision as an apprentice.
A friend of mine is a prison guard, in Norway, and from what I recall him telling me, a solid 6 months (out of 2 years) of the education he took to become a guard was spent studying law. It's probably more comprehensive if you want to become a police officer.
Yeah, it's always weird looking at all the ACAB messages when you live somewhere where cops actually have to have some form of education... It takes 3.5 years in school to become a cop around here and sure we still have issues with bad employees, but at the same level you would expect in any job...
I wonder what it would be like if passing the Bar was required to be a police officer. There would be way less police officers, that's for sure.
Nah, there would probably be fewer.
someone graduated from grammar nazi school with honors
The only good Nazi is a Grammar Nazi
While not harmful, they are still wrong, most of the time.
Both. Since native english speakers use both in a regular manner, both versions are correct.
The setup is rigged so that you have to pay a lawyer to fix any issues.
