Globally police have become trigger happy enforcers - who overreact and shoot bullets and “less than lethal” (read: deadly, but slightly less so) in circumstances without real elevated risk - like nursing home patients and in countries with tight public firearm control… they are not dying in bank robbery shoot outs (statistically).
The police institutions (and their training) need to be torn down and completely overhauled. Badge or no badge, murder is murder. Being a police officer is 10-100x (times) safer than many other professions. Police just get a pretty flag folded funeral - when plenty of other service roles deserve greater or equal recognition.
