ORIGINAL: BamaD I'm not saying that some didn't get their dues under the law but it just shows the mentality of quite a number in your police force generally. Wrong again, it shows mistakes by a very small number of cops. And most of those bad shooting you hear about aren't going to be covered over there when the facts (as usually happens) turn out to be much deferent. Over 1,100 deaths by cops for at least 2 years running is a very small number? I suppose compared to overall gun deaths, it's relatively small. Even so, it's a disgraceful number of deaths by cops no matter how you slice the cake. Of those only a couple dozen are questionable as opposed to what the media wants you to think. The vast majority are because people use, or try to use weapons against police. It is disgraceful , not that the police kill so many but that so many attack the police. Did you know that 4 cops were killed in CA alone during the last two weeks? I doubt it because dead cops aren't a problem to the media. Look at the "bad shootings" recently. Charlotte shooting, the guy pulled a gun (which he could not legally own and was stolen) and refused to drop it, riot. Ca the guy went to a shooting stance (I guess you would like for them to wait so their wife could collect widows benefits) a clear cut case of suicide by cop, , riot. Ferguson, Brown had demonstrated he could do whatever he wanted to the cop, and apparently thought he was going to be arrested for the robbery he had just committed, riot. NY Gardner cop should have been charged with excessive force, Gardner died of a heart attack the cop got off because the prosecutor tried to score political points and went for murder one, before it even came to trial two cops were ambushed in revenge. Baltimore may well have been legitimate charges against the driver, riot (once again the prosecutor overcharged and charged too many people to get a conviction with the worst case of misconduct by a prosecutor since Duke). Shreveport the guy resisted arrest, and tried to pull a gun which it was illegal for him to own, then he was shot, seven Dallas cops killed in revenge. The riots killed far more people than the cops did. Bet you never heard the end story on any of these.
