I am not saying *I* am an expert or even know the best way. I am saying just saying "Eh, it happens. Smarter people will figure it out." Gets us nowhere. Look at the example I used.
I wonder if you think the same about things like "common core" which was made by educators but the general public doesn't understand it so they want it thrown out? Not saying you do, but it's another example of people questioning the "experts". And I think that is a good thing because as I have said, nothing is perfect. There is always room for improvement.
The experts being former LEO's would be ideal but those trained in the human mind are better than nothing if others must be brought in. Once again other situations are different, this is about the only one where I feel like unless you have some real first hand knowledge you shouldn't pretend to have any valid "advice".
As you mentioned earlier people don't want to be told they are wrong today, but I counter with everyone thinks their opinion on any subject is valid. Just because you can google something does not mean you know what you are talking about. Should a doctor consult you me or the general public on how they do heart transplants? Would you dare tell a doctor how to do a heart transplant? Then why would you tell a police officer how to handle a life or death situation that you have no understanding of?
