Can I just say, not a purity test or whatever you're worried about, but that the lack of training was never the problem? The man who shot Good was himself a trainer with many years in Border Patrol. The problem is the inhumanity-- the inability to see the people you police as human and having intrinsic worth. Also, it was allowing extremism to grow among the ranks. And this goes back to other Presidents' administrations where it was called out back then.
But once Trump told them the gloves were off and cheered their killings of the innocent, it became clear that this will keep happening again and again until we collectively stop it.
2026 Aaron exudes growth. Thank you for this measured response.
I’ve been thinking a lot about you and your family this past week and how hard it must be for you. I’m praying for you.

I agree that a fundamental and core problem that must be dealt with is the dehumanization that is encouraged by this administration.
