look I have no problem with a cop shooting an armed criminal
but over 200 dead who were unarmed ?
and how many of those cops are in jail or even tried ?
and how many of the ''armed'' were non-criminal
vs how many were armed by police throw downs after the shooting ?
all cops in any use of force
should be tested not only for drugs and alcohol
but also for steroids and steroid like drugs

Add to the list, mentally unstable. Not joking here. Chicago and burbs depts. have had considerable internal issues, obviously not revealed to the public but the real problem is the higher ranking cover-up or protect the cop with issues. There's everything from personal threats to peers to sexual harassment and theft.
Its beyond belief that its gotten to this level. Its a low percentage of the few rogue but have to raise and eyebrow of the larger number of cops doing things wrongly and trigger jumpy. The kicker is their peers letting them do it or stand in the background letting it happen.
And they wonder why the public doesn't trust them. Most are really pretty decent folk who want to come home to their family after a shift. They're stuck with a crappy partner or superior, unable to call them out on issues.
Its a big problem.
