The deal is this: in most of these shootings the justification is that cops were 'following their training.' Here's my question: why is that working now when it didn't work at Nuremberg?

And just in the last few weeks there were a couple more killing-the-family-dog-in-front-of-the-kids "justified shootings."
Yes, but this does not indicate there is a gun problem in the USA.
