I'd rather be arrested by the police in Tijauana than a Russian police. They need more than training, very unprofessional police force.

Where will they find even ONE honest policeman in Russia, who will teach the others?

Its tough to train some one to be " honest" you either are or you arent .

That particular officer was crazy... that doesn't speak for the whole of the Russia police, but realistically it is up to the common man of Russia to know how the police in that country react to situations, to it's own people.

Fundamental misunderstanding of the underlying problem of the police's role in a quasi police state, retraining will not help without instituting a rule of law, ordered liberty and mechanisms for enforcement of constitutional rights.
