I disagree about the police though. The police need better and more training. We cannot expect them to make the right decision every time in highly stressful, life or death situations, with dangerous criminals when they are getting as poor of training as they are. Some agencies only give their officers 5 simmunition training scenarios once every three years, and they only shoot their firearms for practice once a year. Many do zero de-escalation training. This is a very difficult job when you factor in the danger aspect. Our officers need more funding if anything. There are many great LEO’s out there willing to take a bullet for strangers. There are many bad ones as well. Can’t paint them all with same brush.
