This police department really gave a gun and a badge to someone who fears for his life encountering a 13-pound shih tsu.

If the people that become US cops aren't already like that they break them to become like that during "training". I highly recommend looking up the shit they say and show during police training in the US, it's absolutely bonkers. They make them so scared of everything and fuck them up so badly that stuff like this is fully expected. So fucked up.

police training

That's what, 8 weeks?

Is it even that long?

Training for call centers is longer than that.

Varies by department. I think 3-6 months is pretty common. Obviously insufficient but slightly better than two months.
