The union has to find someone to blame other than their members, . . . that is a given with all unions, . . . and is not always a bad thing.

That said, . . . it still all goes to mind set.

The really proficient attorneys study law books, read transcripts, and have a "legal" mind set.

The really proficient accountants study their trade, . . . keep abreast of legal changes, . . . etc.

The same goes for LEO's: some have the mindset of being this great social change artist, . . . will probably get seriously hurt or killed before retiring. Some to a lesser degree just see it as a "job" or maybe Uncle Willie was a cop.

Unless they (LEO's or civilians) have the mind set to become proficient, . . . there is no way it can be legislated, coerced, or mandated, . . . they just ain't gonna do it

May God bless,
Dwight
