What was learned from the George Floyd incident??
Why will this be any different??
I never understood the no knock warrant stuff (why it's legal in the first place).To be fair, I believe the way he was subdued was fairly common in most police tactics and that has been changed. The Breonna Taylor incident has changed how (and if) many police departments execute no knock warrants. Not nearly enough has changed but I think there are changes.

The crisis management debacle continues…
They just can’t stop digging the hole deeper…
In theory, yes. The main problem in the US is the very low amount of time spent in training to make sure cops are mentally and physically ready to intervene.The first duty of UK police officers is to preserve life.
There is a lot to say about UK policing but, genuine question - is this first duty the same in US states too? I imagine it must be?

Could be the biggest flaw / failure in the American policing system, the intake of too many horribly unacceptable new recruits.How long does it take someone to become a cop in the UK? In Norway it's a three-year full-time bachelor's degree which includes stuff like ethics and empathy. It varies in the US, but I know it can be as short as a couple of months in some places. On top of everything else that is wrong with American policing, I think you'll find a lot of the reasons there.

How could you even show your face in that town anymore?
Don’t think there’s anything possible that could paint the police in a better light.So with more facts coming out, does the police look better or worse?
Tbf I dont think anything could paint them in worse light either. Unless it turns out they assisted the shooter in finding a classroom with more kids in it.Don’t think there’s anything possible that could paint the police in a better light.
