#6  Tom, I see quite a few videos from the body cameras. You just got to find the right sites.

#5  Well, we could end killings by police officers in one simple step: disarm them. Of course, every non suicidal officer would resign immediately. But at least, police officers would no longer be able to kill people.

Sure. Armed citizenry allowed to go to town on crims and public enemies. Police only work as body dispersal.

Not in any human society we know about.

#2  After all the clamor for police body cameras a few years ago, you'll notice that we rarely if ever see the film from them.

I strongly suspect that the body cameras don't show what the leftists thought that they would. Not even close.

#1  The darkest sin of progressives and their fellow travelers is the lie formed with partial truth.
The cherry-pick some parts of an event, statement or report but leave out things that don't fit their narrative and opinion. Often it shades the truth or even reverses it. This is an example, wherein the unstated context is that these situations uniformly involve violent, if not threateningly lethal behavior which didn't stop when a police officer arrives. Expecting the police to avoid taking a life while the perpetrator appears to be attempting to do so is profoundly unrealistic. Talking people down depends on proximity, immanence of the threat and sanity or the absence of drug altered thinking. Civilized behavior requires cessation of violence or the threat thereof, feral behavior requires force to stop it. The better way is to respect the police and avoid situations that require their response!
