Every profession has its good and bad guys. And maybe not even good or bad sometimes but, just wrong for the job. The threat from an older lady with a pot of hot water doesn’t justify him blasting away with his sidearm. I didn’t even see the threat part. I saw her go over to turn of the pot at the request of the officer and when she picked it up I guess she must have threatened him with it or something because he went from level #2 threat level to a 10 in a half second and then she was dead.
Don’t defund the police. Just make them better. Do better job of hiring people that are right for the job. Just because they are big and burly and served doesn’t automatically make them a good choice as a Police officer. Do a better job at training them how to avoid confrontation. That cop if she was threatening him had every opportunity to back off and try to reason with her. Instead the weapon came right out and the level went to 10. That guy failed and I question his training. I suspect he was trained by the military and their rules for engagement are different in Kandahar than a police officer in the states.
