Can we end the debate and retrain our police force now?

Can we end the debate and retrain our police force now?
Imagine that...A Justice Department investigation found that the Baltimore Police Department engages in unconstitutional practices that led to disproportionate rates of stops, searches and arrests of African-Americans, and excessive use of force against juveniles and people with mental health disabilities.
There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." - Isaac Asimov
I get the issue that some of you feel bad when someone with "mental health" issues gets shot.
But fact is police are not doctors and shouldn't be expected to act like one. Not to mention if that suspect with "mental health" immediately attacks officers then the officers definitely shouldn't be expected to talk the person down or whatever crap you guys want.
"Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet.” - General James Mattis
Why you people didn't believe the justice department's report on the Michael Brown case. So which is it? Michael Brown was a thug who got what he had coming or that Baltimore isn't racist? You can't have both.

Also this. The majority of Baltimore PD is black.

I recall people like you saying when the same justice department found Michael Brown to be responsible for what happened in Ferguson claiming "The justice department is racist too!"
So yet again I say which is it: Michael Brown was a thug who got what was coming or Baltimore PD is racist?
Did you know that the DOJ gave a report about Ferguson which pretty much had the same points in regards to discrimination as in Baltimore.

The majority of the police force has nothing do with them being majority black. This is about the the commanders from the top telling officers how to enforce. Plus it is more about a numbers game. Watch The Wire.
Even if the Baltimore PD was all white it would be more about the practices of racial discrimination practice against its black citizens. Not claiming 100% of all the white officers are racist.
You 100% know who he is and are now feigning ignorance to support your little stance. So now the truth comes out you're unwilling to concede and truly are ignorant.

That's nice. The same justice department made a report saying that the Ferguson case had nothing to do with racism and supported that Michael Brown dove at the cop. WHICH IS IT???
Can we finally denounce Michael Brown as being the scum he was. If you do not, then I will also refuse to believe the reports calling them racist.
Also kind of funny that both of those cities have a HEAVY black population on the police force. So you're basically say black people are racist against black people.
