Is it completely unfathomable that the majority of shootings are justified?
Wow.
Yes.
Cops are not judge jury and executioner, and they should be able to de-escalate almost any situation, it's literally their fucking job.
Never mind that most other police forces around the world, while also bastards that serve capitalism and the state, still manage to enforce their authority without guns. So maybe just stop there for a minute and think about that entirely fucked up statement you just made.
Yes. Literally.
If the United States Constitution were really being respected, extrajudicial killings would be exceptionally rare events.

Don’t knock it till you try it
Yeah, but just as you wouldn't trust an airline that crashes as often as cops have unjustified shootings, why would you trust cops? One bad apple spoils the bunch. The police force can't and shouldn't have unjustified shootings. I understand there are dangers etc etc, but that is something they need to prepare for. They are given greater authority and that should come with greater responsibility.
