Not incompetent. Rather, the "police can do no wrong" mentality is to engrained within their ranks (and those policing them) that standards of behaviour have drastically been lowered. Just the term "suicide by cop" is insidious and hilarious: victim blaming at it's finest. On the flip side, how bad has the situation gotten to where citizens know cops to be so trigger happy that they count on them as assisted suicide. When LEOs say they put their lives on the lines everyday, I believe them. BUT, they have a big hand in escalating situations to that point. The perceived threat of any harm to a LEO can be used as justification for killing someone. WTF? Hand-wavy accountability combined with the power to take away a life. This is why LEOs need to have body cams.
