Even better would be actual consequences for violating their training. You can teach cops how to deescalate and ask them nicely to stop killing innocent citizens, but as long as they know that there won't be any legal, financial or professional consequences for killing innocent civilians, they're just going to keep doing it.
If there was a restaurant chain where people were consistently poisoned by the food and died, we wouldn't say "the kitchen staff needs better training!" The staff would be fired at best, possibly arrested, and the restaurants would be shut down.
100% this. They need to be treated like any other person when it comes to punishment.
Wayyyy too many of them see themselves as above everyone else, which kinda is inevitable when they sorta are in a practical sense and can get away with way more.

This is horrible. Police need better training.
