Some of you are really missing the point. Nobody is saying that police should never have the option of using deadly force or that every time a cop kills a suspect it is inherently always unjustified. What we're saying is that police in some other countries have figured out different tactics and procedures that can be used to safely disarm and apprehend subjects such that the use of deadly force by law enforcement is employed far less often than it is in North America. We're asking that our police forces be trained in those techniques and start using them too.
