You don't put yourself on the line to protect the public. You attack those who do.

---------------------------------
In two years, police killed 86 people brandishing guns that look real — but aren’t"

Those were tragic mistakes (which you exploit to attack police), but a police officer can't be expected to wait to see what a gun fires before taking action.
--------------------------------------------------------

" In fact, only about a quarter (27%) of all officers say they have ever fired their service weapon while on the job, according to a separate Pew Research Center survey conducted by the National Police Research Platform.

A little surprised it's not higher.

I grew up in and near a small town. I can't remember a police shooting ever happening. Our next door neighbor was a policeman and I know he talked two armed men into giving up their guns, defusing a bad situation. He put his life on the line both times. Was an unacknowledged hero.

I'm pretty sure in his place, I would've shot one of those for sure.
------------------------------------------------------

You make it sound like every cop is shooting bad people every day. It's simply not true. It's rare for a cop to shoot someone and even more rare for him to kill someone so why are they killing so many unarmed black people?

I do not. You make it sound like every cop is going out to murder young innocent black kids every day.
