Oh, I'll make a solution right now. The best way to reduce shootings is to reduce the number of victimless criminal laws on the books and reduce the contact between armed police and civilians.
MOST of these incidents we see in the news start out as simple traffic stops that turn bad. I know where you're heading, but legalizing marijuana (for example) would not have prevented this guy from being pulled over by the cops for riding his bicycle across 6 lanes of traffic without a night light.
Nor would they have prevented him from having a warrant out for his arrest for an aggravated assault charge.
You see what I'm saying.

Ok, fair enough. It definitely looks like this incident wasn't in the context of a warrant for a dime bag or something. I'm not talking specifically about this incident, but there are things that would have totally changed the outcome. Such as not totally bungling the detention/arrest. That's another issue many people have with the police. Just plain poor skills.
