and start to believe in a well trained (3 years) police
Not a bad idea but who is going to pay for it? The US is not Germany our police forces get the vast majority of their funding from sales and property taxes not state and or federal income taxes. Many states don't even have state income taxes.
Each state sets it's own training standards. Most if not all states have a Peace Officer Standards of Training Commission. Since approximately 1980 California went from a minimum of four hundred hours of training to something like eight hundred hours. Other states may very well mandate less training.
As a mere security guard I knew not to put my knee on a suspect's neck for almost eight minutes. We even knew not to lay a suspect on his chest once we handcuffed him.

Maybe I am a nihilistic anarchist sociopath.
Not sure what that as to do with my post . If you are feel free to commit anarchy in California. Glendora PD arrested a suspect three times in one night for three different non violent felonies and had to release him each time due to California's new no bail law. All he got was three citations. Almost all of the people arrested in California for rioting will be quickly released and unlikely they will be hauled off to court if they don't show up.

maybe the US is a failed state or according to Your president a sh....le
We just might become a failed state . I remember a nation that hardly had homelessness now it looks like India. Maybe I wasn't all that wrong about American Civil War 2.0. I certainly hope I am but the US has been on a bad course since the 1970s.

I'm with you - just watch it on the tube! Don't know how this is going to play out - we don't have leadership anywhere in our government, state or national, either party.

there is only one income tax in Germany - federal but divided betwenn the federal gov the Länder (which aren't states)
Well we do it a bit differently. All Americans above a certain income level are supposed to file federal tax form 1040 but many taxpayers don't actually pay income taxes . Many receive a payment called an "earned income tax credit". Some states have income tax some don't.
Thanks to CV19 both the federal government and state governments are now in a severe budget deficit. The US simply can't afford to have a well trained police force at least not up to German standards. Also common sense can't be taught the Minneapolis police officer knew he was doing wrong but did it anyway.

There are some cops on our local police force who should only carry squirt guns. Down my sister's street they arrived to just talk to somebody and one of them shot the family dog - a miniature poodle sleeping on its rug. No reason!

There was a case where the local police arrived on a disturbance shot the dog, a man by accident, and then arrested the man they accidentally shot.

Maybe the above countries can ask to train American police forces. American politicans aren't going to listen to me they will only listen to folks folks that cough up dollars to their campaign fund or are willing to invest and bring jobs to their districts.

Americans live to have their cake and eat it to. Right wing Americans live to spend money on military,space and Israel but they don't like to pay for it. Since 1980 budget deficits always dramatically increase under Republican Presidents yet the always cut taxes with George the Elder being a partial exception. You can't fix stupid.
