It's a fact that the American police shoots more people than any other western police force on this earth. So either the American population is disprportinate more violent than the rest of the world or there's something wrong with the training or with the people being admitted into police service in the first place.
I'm aware that it may be harder policing a population where anyone is entitled to pack. But that still doesn't mean shoot on sight.
Define Western. South Africa is a great deal smaller than the USA yet has more murders, more cops killing other people and more cops are killed because they not reactive enough.
