So, you are actually claiming that the reason American police shoot more people than Canadian police is because Canadian police have college degrees and American police do not? Even if your premises were correct, it wouldn’t be worth trying to debate that further. Hint: They aren’t. Do some research on what percentage of US police have college degrees, and what percentage of Canadian police have college degrees. It isn’t what you think. Also, you might want to look at the demographics of who police shoot in the US, and inform yourself of the differences between Canadian gun culture and the US. |

Canadian police are also quite racist, but if you're arguing that "less educated American cops are more racist", that tracks pretty nicely with "please don't accept less educated cops"
> you are actually claiming that the reason American police shoot more people than Canadian police is because Canadian police have college degrees and American police do not?
Do you have a different explanation?
> Do some research on what percentage of US police have college degrees
According to [0], the breakdown of US officer max education of no college/college diploma/undergrad/grad is:
* 49/20/25/5
> and what percentage of Canadian police have college degrees
And, according to [1], for Canadian officers, it's:
* 19/51/29/1.6
Quite a disparity. Especially when you consider sources like [2][3], which argue that:
> "Studies have found that a small proportion of police officers – about 5% – produce most citizen complaints, and officers with a two-year degree are about half as likely to be in the high-rate complaint group"
Overall, I believe there's lots of evidence suggesting more educated police are better police and citizens, and none suggesting the opposite - that less educated police are better.
Across the board, Canadian police are significantly better educated, with the exception of less Graduated degrees.
Across the board, Canadian police are less deadly to their citizens.
Not a coincidence - go ahead and say some more stupid shit though.
