Considering what just went on in LA (yet again) and considering that this kind of travesty of stupidity goes on everyday in LA and around the country, would you want to train these thugs in torture techniques?

Would you want them around your neighborhood, your family, your kids? Would you want to have them in your house?

The police are already in the throes of being 'paramilitary' storm troopers. They shave their heads, they wear tons of gear, they dress in black and they get their jollies flinging rubber bullets at peaceful crowds including children. They're so out of control, they actually struck reporters...who were filming...live.

They aren't trustworthy with batons and rubber bullets and nitwits want to train them to torture other human beings? What a ridiculous, dangerous and irrational thought.

We should be going in the opposite direction: fewer arms, less aggression and less 'paramilitary' crappola. Take cops out of cars, put them on the street (without high sugar doughnuts) walking the neighborhood beat and they will get information VOLUNTARILY that they would never be able to get out of torturing anyone.

This ridiculous us-against-them mentality helps create the alienation that leads to ever increasing aggression.
