...with less “collateral damage” to innocent civilians, as well as fewer suspects killed (many of whom objectively weren’t doing something deserving of immediate execution).
There’s a reason why there is such a thing as “suicide by cop” in this country. Even mentally ill people recognize that the police are trained to respond with lethal force much too readily.
To restate:
This is NOT a particular state or city problem.
This is NOT a “racial” problem.
Its a TRAINING problem, and its nation-wide in scope.
The training is in response to the megalotto payouts wheelchair bound survivors often get. Cops are trained that if they choose to shoot, shoot to kill and then some. No wheelchairs. No two sides to the story. You can't revise the training without first revising the reason for the training.
