It's true that many lower stakes professions require more training for their certification, but in order for us to push for reform and require more training they will need, you guessed it, more funding. That is where a ton of money in police departments is already spent, so attempts to divert funds from police would make the training even less.
Disbanding the police is just stupid. I don't really have much more to say about that. Reforms are needed, but that isn't one of them.
More attention to hiring might obviate "more training."
Hire people who don't need to be "trained" not to point weapons at children.
