> I think resorting to our own anecdata coupled with what the media presents us is a tempting fallacy. It's likely that most cops are good people trying to do the right thing.

In the next sentence you counter with pure speculation. > In general, our focus should be drawn to cases at the margin and not those in which decisionmaking is straightforward (e.g. armed and unstable people). It's clearly not straightforward, because both a police officer and a large number of people on this thread disagree with you. Simply stating that your opinion is straightforwardly correct is not an argument.
