Police Cadets Quit, Expose Dept. for Training Cops to View Public as 'Cockroaches'...

• https://thefreethoughtproject.com, Jack Burns

Nearly a dozen police recruits quit their training program and are now calling out the department for trying to teach them aggressive tactics that do not serve or protect the public.

It takes at least four years of college for an enlisted person in the military to become a military "officer," which is quite a contrast from the mere nine months it takes for a police officer to earn the title. But according to a group of 10 former Austin Police Department recruits who wanted to become peace officers, just like the military, the Austin PD is training  "warriors" instead of "guardians."

The former recruits are now blowing the whistle and claiming that the type of mentality they encountered is not what they signed up for and is not representative of the greater Austin community. KVUE writes:
