  Lmao you can't get a pilots license if you've ever taken ADHD meds at all? I want to go for mine but if I get disqualified for that then I'm just not gonna bring up ADHD
context: Interesting how EMS has a license that can get suspended but not cops, maybe we should change that. >
  
  In most states barbers require more hours of training to hold clippers than cops to hold guns. 🥴 >
  
  My barber had more hourly requirements for school than I do to be a paramedic. >
  
  It's not that other professions don't get trained enough - it's that licensing boards and schools for barbers have a vested interest in making it cost a lot to get certified, and it's unnecessarily long. It takes fewer hours of training to be a commercial airline pilot than a barber. >
  
  So, turn the police office training into a long costly process. I'm ok with the number of dirtbags this would weed out of the system. >
  
  I think that would only increase costs to tax payers in the end. >
  
  Not if the cost was the candidate's responsibility. Think of it as a "college tuition" for officers. >
  
  You'd still have to "reimburse" the officers for that higher tuition via higher pay. >
  
  Why are there still unidentified cops in this matter? Release ALL their names. >
  
  Those who aren't named are being investigated to see if their involvement lead to the death of Tyre. If they are found to be innocent are at the least not guilty then naming them is unethical as it can lead to vigilante justice or lifelong damages attached to their names. The original 4 officers had evidence against them that was undeniable and are the root cause of Tyre's death, current investigations are about if responders followed proper protocols that could have prevented his death but not directly cause it. >
  
  While I understand that we are past the point of trusting the police, period. Them investigating themselves and picking and choosing what info to release doesn't sit well. >
  
  Cops need federal licenses, like pilots. They way they can't jump town after being written up. >
  
  That including periodic mental fitness evaluations to determine fitness to serve. >
  
  Just like a pilot license. ADHD meds in high school? Disqualified without a special issuance. Blood pressure too high? Yeah right bud take meds or you’re unemployed. Too old? Goodbye.
