Police brutality has been a major issue for a lot of the citizens of
Minneapolis, and I'm happy to see the mayor and police chief working to end
this sort of training for MPD officers. It's a (relatively) small step but at
least it's something positive in trying to change some of the problematic
culture in the MPD. I appreciate seeing the city taking stand to make the
citizens safer when interacting with police.

What is warrior training? Is it the same as "Training for Warriors"?

Rest of post

Yes, it's about time.

As I wrote in the August 2016 editions of Southside Pride, concerning the
murder of Philando Castile:

Second, police departments must stop training officers according to the
academically bankrupt theories of police work by Lewinsky at Mankato
University. His theories have been sufficiently debunked by the New York Times
and the Department of Justice. He conditions officers to shoot first
(especially if the suspect fits a racial and cultural profile different from
white and middle class and is, therefore, threatening).

Rest of post

I suppose we shouldn't be surprised at the intransigence of Bob Kroll and the
Police Officers Federation.
