Quote:You have taken a number and formed an opinion without actually understanding them. Have you determined how many of these police-involved shootings involved someone shooting at police? Stabbing police? Choking? Trying to drive over them?


It isn't a police problem with a little bit of issues from the public. It's the other way around.


You can't compare the US to the UK and expect the same results. It's naive to do so.

It's naive to think there isn't a problem with police and how they are trained. It is an issue and it'll be addressed. Just a matter of time. It is not all om the cops though. I realize that. The issues are deeper then that. Racism plays a key roll, but so does the response from people who are being arrested. The violence that goes on with civilians in the US is staggering. We have a gun problem in the US. As far as that goes, the numbers don't lie.


Yes, I understand the numbers don't tell the whole story. But it is staggering. At the very least it should encourage people to research the issue more. My point though was to create a topic and get different points of views on it.
