Quote: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.
Maybe it's training. Maybe it's gun culture. Maybe it's some cops have complexes about having their power and authority questioned and take absurd action when it is. It's a many pronged issue.
