Huge difference between being clam and keeping control during a stressful event, and acting like a gang member. Cops and military are not there to act like gang members, or judges or executioners.
Yes you want someone as a police officer that controls a situation, sure. But this shoot first assume the worst isn't even because of cops, but because they have to deal with an armed public which forces them to assume the worst.
Min provided statistics that show you have a one in one hundred million chance of being shot by a cop on any given day.
Way too fucking high. Cops, if you remember - and perhaps you don't - are supposed to make arrests and bring people in for trial. Far too often we see the cops blow away who ever the fuck they want and the trial happens later in civil court when the taxpayers get buttfucked because of trigger-happy cops. You have an ass-backwards view of the system, G/S.
