But of course right now most decisions are being made on emotional reactions. You are right, there are certain cities that have had massive success with retooling their police force to focus on actual helping the public and community outreach instead of just 'responding' to threats.
Of course nobody cares about that because that headline doesn't sell.

I think it's important not to confuse training with policy. In many of these incidents the police are acting how they have been trained. It could be schematics, but I personally think there're three key elements. Hiring, Policy and Training in that order.
