"But in a little less perfect imaginary world, in which bad people never get the chance to hurt innocents because police stops it, some bad people might still go down resisting arrest, at which point 100% of all homicides would be police-inflicted, and that would be good. Not perfect, but better than what we have." No, because every police killing is extra-judicial execution. Our laws don't put a capital punishment on resisting arrest, fleeing from police, reaching for a wallet, or being scary looking (i.e., black) (/s). They don't even prescribe capital punishment for most malicious acts and crimes. It's not up to police to serve as judge, jury and executioner.
