It's no excuse, but their training is measured in weeks, not years. And it mostly consists of scaring them into thinking everyone who isn't another cop is a direct and immediate threat to their lives and must be stopped with deadly force.

They are literally taught that everyone have concealed weapons and dream of killing cops.

The fact that they actively recruit right wing terrorists doesnt help either.
