No More Training

Maybe they can cancel a few "legitimacy" classes:

• Police departments across Illinois say the state budget stalemate has left them struggling to provide necessary training to officers on everything from how to deal with the mentally ill to proper use of force.
  
  Hundreds of classes are being canceled at a time of heightened tension between police and the communities they serve, and as officers are increasingly the first to respond when a person with a mental illness is in crisis, law enforcement officials say.
  
  It's also happening just months after lawmakers approved a bill requiring additional law enforcement training — part of a response to fatal police encounters in cities such as Ferguson, Missouri, New York City and Baltimore.

Well let's see - Ferguson was a completely justified shooting in response to an attack, New York was a legit arrest that devolved into a heart attack once the arrestee decided to fight the police, and Baltimore, from every available report, was a "death in custody" when the arrestee stood up in a moving transport van and managed to break his neck. So yeah, it's the police who need training and not the community who doesn't seem to want to accept any responsibility for their own behavior.

Since there's no training, can we empty the Academy for a few months? We've got some days off we'd like to take without getting static from the boss.
