if you want to be a doctor you have to
go to school for 10 years why because
your job is about life and death but if
you want to be a policeman you only have
to go to school for five months and your
job is about life and death it's hard to
avoid it by now this this and this is a
problem there are many reasons for it
but today I want to focus on just one
it's too easy to become a policeman here
please why if you want to be a policeman
in the United States you don't even need
a college degree you just need to
graduate high school and then you go to
a police academy for five months and
train for another four months it is
different from state to state but on
average in nine months you can go from a
high school ground to roam the streets
with a lethal weapon
that is too easy but if you look at
other countries like Norway they make
the process much harder you actually
have to get a multi-year education you
need to spend three years learning at a
police academy and then more time
training on the ground to get a gun
this extra education could help explain
why in Norway only eight people died
from police brutality only eight in the
u.s. it's too easy to hire and too hard
to fire see police unions make it really
difficult to fire a policeman that's why
this guy after seventeen complaints
against him still was not fired from his
job and
now his actions took a life away
police brutality is a problem in my
country too just like black Americans
people like me Arabs suffer from
injustice in Israel and just last week
around the same time George died Israeli
police killed a disabled Palestinian man
they thought he had a gun and of course
he did not have a gun he was just trying
to go to school
from the US to Israel the situation is
different but the result is the same
I respect the police I really do but I
also think that police should respect us
and to do that they can start by
choosing better people at the front
lines more educated ones more empathic
ones they exist and you can see them
right now trying to calm people down but
that is not enough as Chris Rock once
said you cannot have bad apples in an
Airlines all it takes is one bad pilot
to crash an entire plane all it takes is
one bad cop to crash an entire control
there is one tweet that sums everything
up so clearly and it goes like this in
the world we need to make it harder to
be a policeman and easier to be a person
of color see you next week

you
