Quite a few European countries seem to have much less issues with their police forces. But you can’t just copy-paste solutions. “Weapon discharged - automatic suspension until proven innocent” just wouldn’t fit the way the US is.

You aren’t going to change the problems with the way the US is with “solutions” that fit the way the US is.

The United States is basically the single largest country on Earth, surely the US representation of a problem must be among the most expressed.

  It is fourth largest and third most populated. It has the second largest prison population, but is almost tied for the first place here.

    Who has a larger prison population? All stats I'm seeing both in raw numbers and per capita have the US as number one there.

      The top search result claimed China has about 20k more inmates. Meaning it has about a quarter of USA’s per capita.

The absolute bare minimum should be "weapon discharge resulting in death or serious injury gets external investigation". We can go after the misses and the warning shots later.

Cops aren't even given enough bullets to properly train their ability to shoot straight, we should absolutely have them justify every single round fired.
