No offence.. but NO ONE should be getting killed by cops. I saw your apology thread and 1200 deaths in a year... that is over 3 a day. In most countries that the US compares too it is damn hard to find statistics on this.. why? Because it so rarely happens. You have a violence problem with your police, who have turned in many places into a para-military force, and you have a racism problem. That people are getting killed, white or black, by cops at traffic stops and even laying down on the ground.. shows you have a problem.. a serious problem.
Just look at how the police handled the shooter. Did they try to get to him with no-lethal methods? of course not, they sent in a freaking bomb robot and blew him up.. he was by all accounts cornered and contained. When the police start doing that, then you have a serious problem.. when the public ACCEPT action like that, and the 1200 deaths a year ... then you have a serious problem. Add to that the underlying racism that many Americans are in total denial about, then you have a catastrophic problem.
This person (I refuse to say his name, he does not deserve to be acknowledged) is a criminal and a terrorist, and what he did is absolutely disgusting. But what lead him to do what he did.. that is what Americans have to look at. He might have been crazy, but he was far more pissed against white people and especially white cops, and he aint the only one. This kind of animosity does not just pop up without some sort of fuel... maybe it is time to look at that aspect instead of going down the usual road of more violence and denial.
I will leave you with this. Since I got up in the morning to the best of my knowledge there has been no police shootings of suspects in France, Germany, Spain, UK, Benlux, Portugal, Italy and so on... but based on statistics, 2 have been killed by the police in the US (on average).
