I agree with you. We need to supply police with both lethal and non-lethal weapons. Anyone who thinks otherwise should strap on a vest and knock on a door tagged with a 911 "shots fired" situation. Go talk to someone on the front lines and tell them they are doing it wrong. They are scared shitless and just want to get home to their family too.

- davidw 7y agoI think it's possible to be empathetic with some cops - being young, nervous and maybe not dealing with the nicest people day to day - and think that systemic fixes include better training, mental health programs, fewer guns or whatever else.

Less-lethal weapons leads to them just tazing more people for contempt of cop (people who would generally not be shot). The net amount of violence increases because police use less lethal weapons to force compliance in situations where they had not previously had that option.
- jacobush 7y ago... even for intent of contempt of cop.
