How to end police shootings in one easy step.

Let's be perfectly clear here that the people who need to be held accountable are not necessarily the individual officers - but could also be those who are responsible for properly training them. It's abundantly clear that there is a widespread problem with how police deal with people with mental disabilities, aside from the racial issue. Combine that with the military weaponry that cops are increasingly being issued, and this is what you get.

Nail...head...hit. Until and unless cops get better training to deal with the situations we've seen too much of lately, this sort of thing is going to continue. When the police are better able to defuse a situation without anyone (cop or civilian) getting hurt or killed, the tension will ease off, and people will be less likely to view cops as the enemy.
