American cops are, without a doubt, undertrained.
That's also, to a fair extent, irrelevant to what we're seeing here.
An officer deliberately aiming a firearm at a reporter and pulling the trigger isn't a matter of training. It's a matter of "the cops want to shoot reporters"

ICE waited until a woman’s lawyer went to the restroom then dragged her away. She fainted from stress and they dragged her unconscious body into the elevator, refusing medical attention.

These are LAPD—police—not ICE or DHS officers participating in a violent crackdown of a protest against ICE detentions and deportations.
The militarization of police forces in the aftermath of 9/11 was always meant NOT to protect the people but to protect the government FROM the people.

How many Republicans have spoken out against Trump's threat to suspend habeas corpus?
How many Republicans have spoken out against Trump's "gift" from Qatar?
How many Republicans--and other Republican-adjacent elites--put the Constitution above Trump?
The sad answer: vanishingly close to zero.

If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone.
