Why do lawyers train for 7 years to learn the law, but the cops only train for 8 weeks to enforce it?

From what my friend said, Texas had the longest.

"Everything is big in Texas. Including cop training.
Ignore the deer, we import bigger ones."

As a Texan myself I'd be incredibly surprised if that was true, to be honest.

In that wikipedia article it says this about Texas police academies:

Police academies typically last from 18 to 30 weeks, though there are many variations.

It might be true though, but if that's the longest then that's pretty sad lol
