Batman doesn’t give the cops ninja training because that would mean the cops on the take and the cops who kneel on black people’s necks for fun have ninja training. We don’t need to go adding karate chops to police brutality.
And even the “good” cops are complicit by being part of the organisation, so they don’t deserve ninja training either.
I agree, but I mean from Batman’s point of view he might as well. The idea that Bruce is worried about crooked cops kinda flies out the window with how much he cooperates with them IMO - in-character I think it’s just an excuse he gives because the real reason he’s a vigilante is his all-encompassing hero complex.
Batman works with individuals within the police he trusts, like Gordon, whether they’re at the top of the organisation or the bottom. He doesn’t trust 90% of cops, because he knows about ACAB. Keep in mind that DC Comics is a world where billionaires can be good people, so we’ve already got a fair amount of fantasy in the works. There are also unreasonably upstanding police, though just as rare.
