    Police have killed more in one month (111) then British police have killed since 1900.

    What we need is more guns.

    Yes, they are folks who seriously believe this is the answer in America. I'm slightly different I think what we need more of is recording devices or people willing to record police interaction with its citizenry.

    You know what's telling? That TV show cops is on 24 hrs a day somewhere on cable and I watch it a lot. I've seen episodes where the cops could've shot suspect and they DIDNT. When did the cops stance on shoot to kill change?

    You don't think the reason the TV show has less shootings is because the cops know they are being filmed?

    not only that, but how often is the cop with the camera crew the first responder? don't they know going in whether the perp is armed or not? I don't watch the show, but I'd find it pretty crazy if a camera crew was willing to go into a fire fight.

    no. think about how many cops around the US, every single day, respond to some sort of call. whether it be a traffic stop, domestic assault, whathaveyou. now, cop shootings may be increasing in frequency, but those are still an infinitessimle amount compared to how many calls are answered. it would be incredibly unlikely for the Cops camera crew to be there when one happens.

    I know you were being sarcastic, but I would say that because the cameras are there and they know they are running, that drastically effects an officers decision to shoot somebody,.

    Yes, I'd say it was overkill (sorry for the term, but it fits).
