These thugs are not police officers, police agents, law enforcement officers or peace officers!
They are merely a bunch of idiots who think since Trump hired them to do his crime bidding acts.
Any police candidate goes through rigorous background checks, mental readiness and a long list of training requirements to evaluate the preparation of their willingness to be an officer.
It take a lot more than a couple of weeks to a couple of months training to be an effective officer and this here is nothing short of mindless minimum of making a thug into a criminal.
Even the military has more training than these goons.
I wish everyone would stop saying that they are police officers. They are wannabe with a badge and minimum authority. Im betting that most of them were J-6 insurrection rioters?
That is way I look at these people thugs with a badge and a gun, fake police!

We wanted to see if that was true. Because every time theres a controversial police shooting, the question comes up: How much training do officers get?
Turns out, Jacobs claim is right. And its not just in North Carolina. In California, New Mexico and New York, you can get a badge hundreds of hours sooner than you can use a pair of barber shears.
And its not just barbering, either. Many trade jobs require more hours of training time to get a license than it takes to get a police badge. (Important caveat, though: Police departments can choose to go beyond their states minimum training requirements and many do.)

And then there is the higher rate of family violence by police officers.
contrast to 10% of families in the general population.(3) A third study of older and more experienced officers
found a rate of 24% (4), indicating that domestic violence is 2 4 times more common among police families than
American families in general. A police department that has domestic violence offenders among its ranks will not
effectively serve and protect victims in the community.5, 6, 7, 8 Moreover, when officers know of domestic
violence committed by their colleagues and seek to protect them by covering it up, they expose the department
to civil liability
