Is it as egregious? No, but it needs just as much focus if the goal is to reduce Police violence.

I like to try and make arguments from both sides when the ideal situation is obvious to me.
Taking a life, while in the line of duty or not, is not something that a normal person can handle. Ignoring all of the fantastic points about protecting the public, having police deal with the aftermath of taking a life (justified or not), and all of the costs that go into assisting that person (counselling, addiction assistance, etc), all point to rebuilding the entire system to me.
