Police unions go even further with 'warrior training' in that many cities banned the actual police force from paying for it and then the unions go around the intention of the law and pay for it themselves.
I'm like 55% sure it's something I'm not comfortable legally banning individuals from choosing this for themselves - but I would like get rid of that style training and mindset. So idk maybe I'd be ok with limiting personal freedom here specifically because it's harmful to the greater community. Maybe similar to other public health laws that put public ahead of individual. Maybe there is legal precedent I don't know about to sway this tradeoff?
There is no need to limit personal freedoms - anyone should be free to get the training if they wish to. But they don't have to remain employed as police afterwards.
