As was made painfully (and shamefully) obvious here very recently, if multiple HPD officers did not even know if they had the authority to quickly quell and disperse a loud block party with scores of intoxicated "guests," then it would be reasonable to suggest that applying a "more is better" fix is questionable at best.  Whatever is done must stress having smarter (not more) training.  And it needs to be said:  smarter cops, from sergeants down to rookies fresh out of the academy. 

Sadly, even if we magically began better training in six months and began accepting higher-quality recruits tomorrow, tangible benefit probably won't occur for at least three or more years, until some officers already on the force retire or are winnowed out by other means.  Inertia is hard to overcome.
