And yet, the police forces of every other advanced nation on earth manage to deal with armed people every day without shooting nearly as many of them as the United States does. How do you think they manage that?
- sp527 10y agoIt would be very hard to get apples to apples numbers to make that determination. Let me be clear that the recent spate of high profile executions (and believe me when I say that's how I feel about many of these cases) of various unarmed black men at the hands of cops across the country constitutes an altogether different problem. This particular case, involving an armed suicidal man who was presumably affecting an unstable demeanor, is comparatively cut and dry.
