Although we know it seldom happens anymore; if the training is a traumatic experience for someone, their instructors should be experienced enough to see it, and responsible enough to drop em from the course.
@eshep Nope the entire point of the training is to make them so hyperviligent they treat all civilians as dangerous. Its doing exactly as intended. The trainer also has PTSD and views it as normal.
I went to high school with a kid who became a cop. At the time, we were friends. We've drifted far apart in the intervening decades. He became a cop because cops got respect, and he didn't get any otherwise. In other words, he had low self-esteem. That's a recipe for someone who misuses their authority to lord it over others. Sadly, that is all too common in law enforcement. Add in the various other kinds of bullies and outright thugs, and you get the modern law enforcement community. Are there good ones? Sure, but don't hold your breath between meeting the next one and the one after that.
I was formally trained by law enforcement to become an officer. It was mostly learning procedure, documenting, experience, etc. Nothing out of the ordinary. But after a few years, some of the officers that been around for awhile open up and they were a bit dirty. They see a lot of shit every day, often by the same people. I guess enough alcohol will drive anyone crazy.
