What do you propose? We obviously can't do without law enforcement. Maybe the training can be revised, i'm sure there are different programs for the areas they are policing as well. Obviously training to work in a city like Chicago or LA is going to be a lot different than a small town in North Dakota or somewhere with a very low crime rate.

I feel like it's very different to discuss it as an outsider looking in opposed to being in an actual situation like that yourself and reacting.

It is different. I'm an EMT, not a cop, but I am acutely aware of how stressful it is to head to a call with only the information that dispatch tells you. Dispatch typically operates with very limited information (which may be correct or it may be completely different) and when you arrive on scene, you have a small amount of time to take in everything at a scene. If a cop is called somewhere with reports of an armed suspect, or worse, an active shooter; even if there are no firearms on the premises, I cannot blame an officer for opening fire when a confused individual reaches for any place that a gun is typically concealed. I would never expect them to wait until the firearm is produced and ready to end their life at the pull of a trigger.

but you don't see the unfairness in that? people die for no reason just cause a cop got scared and freaked out
