Bottom line, most police shootings end up being justified.


That may be the legal result, but we both know that's not because they are exonerated in court. It's because most DA's don't like charging the police they rely on for convictions. It's an inherent conflict of interest.

It also doesn't hurt that the system bails out risky behavior because the threshold for "fear for your life" is so low. I'm not suggest cops are out there trying to decimate civilians, but human nature will give you the necessary bravado to take on risky situations when you can be bailed out by shooting the suspect if it goes wrong.
