"NJ Police Trainers Exposed: Sexism, Violence, and Unconstitutional Tactics"

Videos from a police training seminar in Atlantic City, New Jersey, have revealed instructors using sexist language, mocking the LGBTQ+ community, and glorifying violence. The seminar was led by Street Cop Training, a private police training company that claims to be the largest in the United States. The New Jersey comptroller's investigation found that many instructors made discriminatory and harassing comments, while offering unconstitutional tactics and promoting a "warrior" approach to policing. The comptroller's office recommended retraining for all New Jersey officers who participated in the seminar and called for licensing rules for private training companies. The report highlights the lack of oversight and regulation in the private police training industry, which has thrived in the United States.
