You can’t read can you. I said “bad apples”. Plus these incidents are gifts for the propaganda machines of the left, the communist far left and the Muslims coming here from the ME to recruit violent black activists.

I have been advocating self reform of how police departments do business here for years.

Police departments are violent trigger happy and trained to be that way. This is an institutional problem. They, the Police are running out of friends. We the communities that hire and pay for Police deserve better. We need Police and Police need us. The Police need to remember they are us.

“Police departments are violent trigger happy and trained to be that way.”

That is blatantly false. Cops are trained to use as much force as necessary to control a situation. Showing up with more than they need is a simple way to get perps to comply. No police force wants to be equally matched with the criminals. That makes no sense and risks having a situation get out of control, which means somebody is more likely to get hurt.

As for not being able to read, I believe I lifted much of your comment word for word.

It always amazes me when people bring up “bad apples” as if the police force were drawn from some group of perfect people who do not exist. Cops are human, they make mistakes. Considering there are thousands of police, sheriffs, etc. on the job 24/7, 365, the number of incidents of questionable use of force are remarkably small.
