Watching this YouTube video of new Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department hires reporting for training last July — assuming it's the real thing — made me wonder about claims that the sheriff has an easier time recruiting than the LAPD. I know law enforcement requires mental toughness, but emulating the Marines? You just hope the trainees are told somewhere along the way that, oh by the way, don't ever dare treat a civilian this way. "Black Monday" has been on YouTube since last summer and there are a bunch of comments posted.
