Baltimore's new approach to police training looks at the effects of trauma, importance of empathy
A three-minute viral video shows an irate Baltimore police officer berating a teenager because he ignored orders to stop skateboarding and called the officer “dude.”
“Obviously your parents don’t put a foot in your butt quite enough because you don’t understand the meaning of respect,” he shouted at the skateboarder, who remained relatively calm.
That 2007 interaction cost the officer his job. But as policing evolves, others are learning from his mistakes.
The Baltimore Police Department recently started requiring its members to complete a program on emotional regulation that uses video as a learning tool and teaches them the basics of brain science by examining the relationship between thoughts, feelings and actions. It’s a far cry from traditional police training.
I don't think I've ever encountered a proud bootlicker before. Kind of icky.
Well it's because you hang out with low lifes and criminal idiots. VERY ICKY. You just need to get a better education and stop willfully wallowing in ignorance.
Oh yes, because cops are never low lifes or criminals themselves. All cops are great people and no bad apples are ever involved.
I think the cops are the ones who should be educated, considering that most US police departments don't hire people if their IQ is too high. They don't want cops with critical thinking skills, they want cops who will kick a baby if it is ordered.
Not exactly, where I live people just have something called self-respect. Also VERY ICKY in your eyes, I assume.
You must have a pretty lousy education yourself if you believe better education leads to more bootlicking.
Kind of a shit troll attempt imo
