Let's talk about 'training' for a bit. Ok, we are human beings but the reality is that we can be trained just like a dog. Think about it - you can't train a stupid dog, can you? It's almost impossible and where it is possible it takes far more time and resources than normal. The bottom line is that you have to have some level of intelligence in order to be 'well' trained and I think that this is our achilles heel as a species. Without intelligence we cannot fathom psychology never mind see when some psychological tactic has been successful or not and it's only through being aware of and seeing such things that we learn 'the best ways' to operate in any given social situation and make no mistake - this thing we are dedicated to dealing with right now is, in essence, a social situation.
We all do it, training, and the most intelligent of us, as we find 'the best ways' to do things .... well, ..... we tend to follow the same formula afterwards, don't we? We train ourselves. THIS is training - finding 'the best ways' to do things and then doing things that way to the best of our abilities until a better way has been found. Do not - ever - take the word 'training' lightly. Whenever you hear it bear in mind exactly what it is we are talking about. When it comes to humans training is no different than the training of a dog and I don't mean that in any derogatory way either. It's just a fact.
The folks in control of enforcer training programs know exactly what they are doing and they are doing a damn good job of it too.
