I don't have an issue with people questioning the police and their actions, I think that shows a healthy society at work. But jumping to conclusions and making blanket statements is not helpful.
Unfortunately, there will always be police shootings as long as there are guns and people willing to use them for nefarious purposes. You can't seriously be comparing the US to the UK, Australia, Europe or even Canada when it comes to policing? It's an entirely different world down there, waaaay too many guns and way too many rights for gun owners.

Being armed in the U.S. is legal, that isn't an excuse for the cops to shoot anyone.
