Retired cops in Congress shred Dem’s push for mandated police ‘cultural diversity’ training [Video]

A progressive-backed bill to mandate cultural and sensitivity training for police recruits is being panned by House Republican lawmakers who are former officers themselves.

“It is imperative that law enforcement officers are well-trained on agency policy and procedures and held to the highest standards that keep both officers and the public safe,” Rep. John Rutherford, R-Fla., a former sheriff and 40-year veteran of the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office, told Fox News Digital.

“However, it is not the role of Congress, nor should it be, to tell local agencies what that training should look like.”

The legislation would require people enrolled at police-training academies “to receive sensitivity training on ethics and racial bias, cultural diversity, and police interaction with . . . people with disabilities, those in a mental health crisis, and new immigrants,” according to the press release.
