Let me interject something here and leave you to it. Police brutality is a big part of the problem in the cycle of violence. For a very long time, UK police did not carry weapons and that saved a lot of their lives. Even today they are far less trigger happy than their American cousins.

The fact that so many people have been turned into sieves for nothing, including getting shot from the back for trying to "break into" their own homes, speaks volumes about the US police.

A lot of people in Canada have firearms. And we have seen a surge in criminals importing illegal firearms from the US. But what we have not seen in Canada is people getting 30 rounds into them, whether or not they were guilty. To the contrary, the police are usually able to talk down a perp pointing a gun at them with resorting to violence.

One of the big differences is how much training and experience goes into the police force in the rest of the world vs the American system. 60 minutes had a good episode on the this. You know what they say about violence and incompetence, no?

You should have a look at how it's done in the rest of the world.

The perp in the video below had already committed multiple public homicides by running over pedestrians with his van.

OT

I'm by far not the only one who thinks bad cops (the ones physiologically ill prepared for certain encounters), will get good cops killed.

Let me emphasize.. cops, I like cops. I like law & order. I'm much the social conservative, seeing public strife and the resulting breakdown of social or behavior norms.. I'm very bothered. I want to see the cops there. I'm just hoping for the sake of everyone's safety.. most importantly the cops themselves.

The thing I do not like.. self righteous citizens with their hardware, running around in public, thinking they're the end of all things great near & dear of 'their' America.
So, now we have immature punk kids, like what we witnessed in Wisconsin, or an armed militia thinking they have certain constitutional powers in their warped sense of patriotism, willfully engaging confrontations with whoever, & of whatever nature. Screw these assholes.

I'm thinking judge Scalia, even with all his legal brilliance, obviously lacked common sense in opening a can of worms, had bigger balls than John Wayne.
sorry for vulgarities
