A big part of this that I don't see addressed: huge numbers of LEO's are sent to Israel to train.

I don't even have to say anything further. It speaks for itself.

Israelis excel in the defense industry and their mandatory military service means few people with physical and perceptual aptitude are untrained.

I assume you are implying an Israeli cannot be a good police trainer because they occupy Palestine, but I disagree.

>>Israelis excel in the defense industry and their mandatory military service

Exactly, this means they are training police in MILITARY tactics, the entire point of this conversation was that the police need to be DEMILITARIZED, having them trained by the IDF is exact what we SHOULD NOT be doing

No, because they are notoriously violent.

Sorry, you’re saying Israelis are violent as a people? Or the IDF is, or some other organization?

IDF or whatever the branch is called which is doing the torturing.

I think in Atlanta the instructors came from Israel to the police force.
