ok but what does rioting, burning cars and buildings, attacking police officers and essentially anarchy do to make things better? Im pretty sure if people stop running from cops, resisting arrest or attempting to disarm a cop then injury and death tend to stop happening...
what needs to happen unfortunately is proactive solutions.. vest cameras and recording devices,better training and testing of officers for mental issues and racist views... there is no other quick fix.. no magic trick to undo the Crappy situations American police departments find themselves in..
To answer a few of the questions...
Vest Cameras are much more tricky then people realize... first of all it's ridiculously expensive to implement, it's not something easy to tack on to a persons uniform and really if a cop is being malicious the camera could "malfunction" after a scuffle.
Mental issues and racist views... I took a course that discussed lots of this... did you know the people who ace these tests are usually psychopaths/serial killers. Also clearly most people would lie... who is going to say "I hate colored people" and think that they will keep their jobs.
The solution is very simple... it goes two ways.
For Police - Need a larger budget , better training and for certain areas better candidates.
For the public - Need to be normal honest hard working citizens... their's a reason why Winnipeg is so much better then say Baltimore. Much less poverty, the canadian culture is more laid back and not purely about "Getting rich or die tryin" like in the States.
Long story short.... the police needs only a few things changed.... current society is just plain messed up in the States and if they want incidents like these to stop then the people need to grow up, get a job and stop being idiots. Creating "Robocops" won't stop people from stealing and killing...
