The depressing this is that it's not like there's some sudden uptick in police violence; it's just that it's now getting media coverage.

and it's baffling to me that crime is lower than it's been in decades, but some of the police just seem so incredibly quick to escalate confrontations, and so fast to pull a gun and fire.
what's going on with their training? where is this irrational fear coming from?

and why did two cops think they could say what they wanted on their report, when they knew the camera caught the whole thing? were they just betting no one would view it? probably. the police have to get used to not getting benefit of the doubt like they used to.
