If it was one, it was one too many.....police officers are human and even though trained, they do not operate as efficiently as a machine and those incidents, as rare as they are, should absolutely be reviewed and the officer held accountable.

Using your rationale, putting one innocent person to death is one too many. I assume you will also agree that we should prohibit the death penalty for the same reason.

You have not presented any data to support your assertion so I would respectfully suggest again that the "numerous occurrences" of police brutality or overly excessive use of force are a figment of your imagination.
