We can argue all day but we will never agree so there is no point but this whole "training" or "education" thing is bullshit of the highest order, people in general are just too unstable and emotional to handle it.
I think your last line contains the real problem. However, it definitely also applies to law enforcement, especially when they are the main individuals who have a formalized license to wound/kill if necessary.


My apologies if that was implied.
