There's a lot of cops who don't know the law. Period.

And that's why you give them more than 19 bloody weeks of training, perhaps 3 years, like in the rest of the civilized world.

You're probably right.

I worked at a factory before becoming a cop and when I graduated, I just felt like a factory worker that suddenly had access to a gun and a car. It took a long time before I had and skills I think made me proficient as an officer--and much of that was because I took initiative to learn them on my own.
