I usually avoid them, but I started thinking that we need to know what is happening. It was horrifying to see how quickly the shoot-first cops reacted to what was just a glimpse of a person...it could have been a child, an elderly lady walking in her yard, and there is no way in hell they thought they saw a gun. The massive overkill with multiple guns being emptied is nothing more than piss poor training and NO self-discipline. If these cops are always getting to walk away, nothing is going to change.
