Question: If you were on a consulting committee to a police force, what would you suggest as a means to address the problem of police officers killing unarmed citizens?
Answer: If I was on this police force committee, I would make a rule that says all trainees must take a psych test, extensive gun training and proper instruction on how to detain someone safely. To be deemed acceptable, they must be a rank 7 or higher with a ranking system of 1-10. As well, if It is reported that one of these policemen killed a pedestrian who made no violent action towards the police or other victims, then I would have them sent to jail because they have committed a crime. Even if a man or woman is armed with a knife, unless they pull it out and start using it they have not broken any laws, as a right to bear arms is the second amendment of the United States and it is part of some religions that one must carry a dagger to show their faith. Lastly understanding that a life should NEVER be taken unless the situation is the worst case scenario; should be the motto to live by.
