When will lack of training have consequences for the ones in charge?

I AM SO FRUSTRATED BY THE LACK OF ACCOUNTABILITY WITH ALL THINGS JUSTICE/FAMILY COURT SYSTEM, CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES/DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, AND POLICE TRAINING right now, and I don't understand how the people in CHARGE OF TRAINING aren't ever ever ever seemintly ever held accountable for the cocked up actions of their officers
ALL
OVER
THE
BOARD!

HOW in the world do we prosecute a poorly trained police officer when they were obviously not trained properly, and likely unable to control their emotions well enough to be wielding a GUN in public, around children, and members of society that are obviously going to suffer bc of that poor training, and inability to control their emotions under stress.

And don't get me started on hiring bigots, bullies, and PD predators..... who's responsible for these hirings, and WHY AREN'T WE READING ABOUT THOSE FAILURES!!!????!!!

It's like watching one of the bank officers at my bank get fired for the failings of the guys who made a butt load of money off the strategies the instructed the scapegoat bank officers to carry out.

OK, it's the money, and corruption, and the broken system, but WTH?

WHY DON'T WE SEEM TO CARE ENOUGH TO BRING ATTENTION, and CHANGES?

Ya, we're all fighting our own dragons, BUT THESE ARE THE DRAGONS in every community.  THESE are THE PRIMARY INDICATING DRAGONS FOR HOW SICK A SOCIETY IS GOING TO GET, and we seem to keep getting sicker and sicker.

I don't understand why it's so damned difficult to identify the SOURCE of the problem or at least attempt to trace it back, and stop scapegoating and vivtimizing the symptoms..... the improperly trained, and supervised officers.  The officers going along to get along, idenitfied as the problem but a small cog in the broken SYSTEM.

It's rot from the top down, not the bottom up, IME.

I see heroes mixed in at every level, so I know there's HOPE.  I see people who care, and fight, and rage against the system.  I see them call attention, and spend their lives wading into KNOWNS.  They KNOW what's broken, and they're working within the system, and watching the suffering continue generation after generation, and I'm just so fucked off with it.

Today.

I AM FUCKED OFF WITH IT.

I think watching Trump leave the Kurdish fighters to be slaughtered.... and their children, and families..... is impossible to watch without being triggered for people who have souls and the ability to FEEL appropriate outrage.

THAT entitled sociopathic behavior is where the root of all the problems LIVE,  IMO.

ARRRRGGHH..... so fucked off with it. 

And shocked there's ZERO the system CAN DO to stop that spoiled out of touch maniac from giving orders in the world that everyone can SEE is insane.  Where are the Generals, and the systems to STOP that kind of ass-backward brutality?

Most of the Country seems to care that Trump has Putin's D*CK in his mouth, but nothing that can be done?  If it was a woman, she'd be in prison by now, begging for something... a lawyer... a fair trial, the ability to make bail without an ankle bracelet, and hours free to travel during that day that hampers her ability to put forth a defense.

OK, that was my father (sort of an Archie Bunker type) speaking up there, but it's outrageous, and I am disgusted by the silence of all the people who aren't abusing their spouses, children, and systems in place to supposedly protect us, but are instead....

::ending rant::.

::breathing deeply::.

::stepping off soap box::.

EMDR.....  I choose EMDR in this moment.

You sound like someone with the passion to transform that frustration into political activity, Lighter.
Hope there's a local or national campaign you can volunteer for.

I understand every word you wrote, and hope you'll take that motivation IRL.

And the education system!  I forgot to rage against the educations system, and Western medicine, and big Pharm.

::shaking head::.

Big Pharma.

Hi Lighter--
This is the larger organization I support through its local actions.
It is humbling and satisfying to do. We see the results, in changes
made, lives impacted.

My community has huge income inequities and this is the most
effective local way to push back.

I think we've all run into the same things, at one time or another Lighter. It's actually one reason I gave up the university job. I LIKED what I did most of the time, except for the people at the top who simply did NOT CARE how many people were hurt - one way or another - in the process of executing their personal "vision" of things. They refused to collaborate with the people who did the work; just wanted to give orders. They refused to learn.

What I do now is a defensive strategy, I realize. But it keeps me sane. I work with one person at a time and find ways I can be helpful to them. Untangling the dissonance they experience, or sorting out some of the life situations that have steamrolled them, and finding out which idea in their head was preventing them from choosing a different path... getting them back on their feet or not letting them fall thru cracks due to accidental events no one could control.

I can't change the world. But I can positively impact the people I come in contact with - one at a time. Sometimes it's just simple kindness. Or respect. Or even just noticing them.
