[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They aren't police and aren't trained as police. They are soldiers.[/quote] Yep. They are not law enforcement. [/quote]And let's face it, much as I respect individual police officers I meet, on the whole, law enforcement is not doing a great job so far. We need more folks like violence interrupters, social workers, and other folks committed to addressing human needs. Spend money on improving social services rather than deploying the National Guard.[/quote] I agree that other services are needed to effectively address violence. But also, maybe we could work on training law enforcement better? They are actually not that good at solving crime; maybe work on that? And while we're at it, de-escalation training, and effective community policing techniques to build connections and trust with the people they are supposed to be protecting, so that they can get better cooperation during investigations.
