don’t think failure to comply justifies any and every LEO action that follows. Apparently that’s controversial.



Yet not every incident of resisting leads to death.

Again, what do you propose? You’ve already alluded to being a cop not being a “marketable” skill. So what can be done?

There are over 3 million cop/citizen encounters a day, with amazingly low death or injury rates.

Police violence isn't one of the most pressing issues of our day.

I think there are just shitty cops, just like there are shitty doctors and teachers. I think the amount of money vs the bullshite leads to a less than ideal applicant pool, but plenty of money is simply wasted in departments too. I think better pay and some sort of stress testing for these situations would be a good start, if it isn’t already being done, but ultimately I think there will always be bad apples.
