I have a patient who had a seizure and 911 was called. He tends to get agitated, so his wife warned the cops that came to leave him alone to come out of it as sometimes he starts flailing his arms. Well he flailed his arms and the cops decided to handle that by punching him in the head a few times. Cops need seizure training very very badly.
US Police officers need training very badly, period.
Also, don’t call them cops anymore. They don’t need a “cool” designation, they’re people with a job, ans that job is to protect and serve us, not being some cool dude that we need to fear
Cop = Citizen On Patrol. It’s derogatory, as it correctly implies they aren’t officers, and they absolutely hated being called cops as recently as the early '90s.

They don’t need more training. They need consequences
They do need more training as they barely get any.
They also need consequences, yes
Police officer sounds authoritative. Cop is usually used in a derogatory manner. Gonna stick with cop.
Police officer is what they should be.
Cop, whatever it was before, is -to them- this cool ahrrif guy who will show the town who is boss.
You’re not that, you are. Apomoce officer who should be trained and sworn to uphold the law firstly to yourself, to serve and protect.

Cop is short for copper, which was a reference to the big brass buttons they used to have on their uniforms.
Could be both. Could be neither. I’m just a random person on the internet.
