I think, in general, our police forces, mirror our populations.
Small town cops, know the townfolk, take time to stop
and chew the fat [doughnuts],and let you off for little things.
Big time cops, are harder edged, quicker to pull a gun,
and seem to take any object in someones hand as a
lethal weapon..shoot first then take the potato peeler
out of the dead woman's hand.
If you gotta shoot someone, not carrying a gun,
but a knife, potato peeler, a piece of wood...
SHOOT'M IN THE LEGS!
These are not death penalty offenses.
Deadly force should not be used on non life threatening
people.
Shoot them in the foot, in the legs, if you must.
But stop killing people who are just venting
and have "Something" in their hand.
I do understand it is a hard job...
My father, two uncles, stepmother and my son
are all, or have been police officers and Sherriffs.
None of them has ever shot anyone.
