Every training and every program doesn’t need additional funding to be carried out.

The program should absolutely be developed, that’s not in question, but federal funding shouldn’t be dedicated to funding the training across the country. There’s zero reason that can’t be incorporated into existing academy training.

It has to require extra funding.

Unless we can somehow make the training happen for free and in the officer's free time (without pay).

That has to come from somewhere.

Edit: so it seems that the argument boils down to a variant of "fuck the NYPD".

Reallocate funds. The NYPD isn't hurting for money.

The NYPD has a multi billion dollar budget. They can figure it out.
