How many of these people who fled the scene would have gone on to kill and/or injure numerous other innocent people. Someone so eager to get away is hardly goin

  Not many, and are we passing judgement on pre-crime at this point? Yes we are. Sometimes we need to, say armed people fleeing a scene. They could harm, kidnap others. Fair enough. Many times we do not need to, and by percentages the killing of people by the police speak to a general failure to properly assess these dynamics. Earlier, I wrote about doctrine, escalation of force to compliance. It is up thread. Essentially, police are killing people for failure to comply, not a respectable assessment of their potential hazard otherwise. When we changed the doctrine, we created these ugly scenarios. When we revise doctrine, we will improve on all we see right now. Our society can do much better. We need to change the doctrine and invest in far superior training and screening. Nations that do that do not generally report the ugly we do. Secondly, we need to examine why crimes are happening, and that will lead us to a better economic policy, and far fewer and less toxic crime incidents to face. All of that leads to happier overall people, less crime, less policing, less death. Fact is, when we really put the screws to people, they will act. They will feel they have to. They will feel less obligation to care too. Often, how much we may care as people gets directly linked to how we are cared for. For far too many, it is a damn rough place to live. They act accordingly.
