If only it was a question of "3 weeks training". The real brain rot of being a police officer happens as you're jumped into the street gang that is your local sheriff's deputy division.

Its a real Learn By Doing situation. And what cops learn over time is that they are utterly unaccountable save to their immediate superiors, who all have their own political and financial agendas that diverge starkly from the ostensible job of policing.
