Police work is hard work, especially with criminals highly likely to be armed. It’s a highly stressful job, and one bad mistake in an otherwise flawless career can tarnish not just one’s reputation but his or her entire police department, bringing the wrath of the entire nation.I am sitting in California and thinking what the hell is going on. US can send a man on the moon but can't fix the daily traffic jams and slaughter on the streets. Half Moon bay is like 40 mins and LA about 4 hours from me and San Francisco about 50 Mins. Seems to be a war between the Police, the criminals and the collateral damage are the people.
Quite true indeed. But it seems the mass shooters don't care if they are White, black, yellow or brown they will shoot to kill for the silliest reasons.
Having said that, many people are not cut out to be police. Psychological exams should be done every so often to weed out people unfit for the highly stressful job. Police unions would naturally try to prevent their officers from getting fired, but legislation and funding (into mental health care, drug rehab, homeless services) has to be put in place to decrease the likelihood of these incidents.
For police arriving in squad cars, better armored vehicles equipped with racing drone UAVs (equipped with speakers and cameras) maybe necessary, in a world with so many guns, to make first contact with civilians.
