My god people. What the hell is wrong with the police system in America?

This isn't GTA. We don't need to shoot everything. Don't they have tazers? Are they not properly trained to deal with a regular situation?

Look, if a mental man goes running hurting people, then I won't blame the officers. They can't magically tell if someone is mental. However, I think it's ridiculous how quick many policemen in America are to resort to violence.

Perhaps they're learning from key and Peele videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVewRuh7PyY



Rest in Peace to the 2 black people, especially the one with the mental illness. It's quite unfortunate for two people to be killed the day after Christmas. It makes people not take their loved ones for granted. Can never tell when someone's time is due.

That's the first thing I asked myself, what about the tasers?

Police officers must use force if necessary but this situation seems like a mess that was the result of mistakes and/or bad, premature decisions.

I won't hit that link with Key and Peele because I have all of their series seasons and I have yet to start watching them. :)
