Dude.
Would you like to be operated on by a 19-year old doctor?
No?
Why not?
Because it takes years to learn the relevant skills and responsibilities?
Yeah. In my country even thr the lowest level police officer goes through what is equivalent to a university degree. (Third level education.)
And despite that, there's still problems. Not the same problems, but still.
In America the "training" to become a police officer is often less than the basic training that we give for conscripts in the army on the use of force and responsibilities of wielding authority.
