Florida police organization offers to hire cops who were fired or resigned over police misconduct

As the cries for police reform grow louder across the nation, some police departments are holding their officers accountable, firing or suspending those accused of excessive force during recent protests.

One Florida police organization has said it will re-hire those very officers accused of misconduct, and that offer is prompting outrage.

I've been hearing a lot of this stuff coming out of Florida and I wonder what is up over there. My guess is that there are a lot of retired white folk out there, having the old mentality of their upbringing?

Ahhh! Finally we're edging closer to something that might actually make a difference!

Employing people that are suitably selected and trained for the job!

In my opinion, the important factors are:
1. Recruitment - Filter out people who are psychologically unsuited to policing.
2. Training - Make sure police are trained to restrain, detain, and disarm people in a manner that is safe to them and the person they are trying to apprehend.
3. Discipline - Identify police that are behaving inappropriately and retrain them or remove them from policing.

Some police departments seem to be cracking down on discipline. Now they just need to work on recruitment and training.
