I´m not saying that, but what about the other cases that were shown in the video? I´m mainly talking about the unarmed homeless guy that was shoot with automatic guns.Now, is every cop like this guy?
Both of these attacked them first.But what about Trayvon Martin? Michael Brown?
As Baldo stated, these 2 are open for debate.But what about Trayvon Martin? Michael Brown?

Michael Brown I agree on what Blado said. Still not sure if what the officer did was right, but not pressing charges was fine in that situation.
Trayvon Martin was indeed killed by a citizen and not a police officer. And due to some stupid laws, he couldn´t be charged with anything.
@Bladoraxx I would love to hear your opinion on the homeless person and the other guy who was chocked to death (both are mentioned in the video).
The first 3 I found when I searched on google:

Trayvon Martin was unarmed. And there's no evidence he attacked George Zimmerman.Both of these attacked them first.
Michael Brown reached into the police cruiser and assaulted the officer while he was in his vehicle and went for his gun, hence being shot in the hand. Then proceeds to charge the officer, paraphrasing "like a wild bull". All shots were to his front and not back. MULTIPLE eye witnesses attest to this. This all happened after Michael Brown robbed a store. So this officer is most definitely not part of the bad apples.

Michael Brown was unarmed. When he was shot for the twelfth time, he was still out of arm's reach. How many methods do law enforcement officers have at their disposal for non-lethal takedowns? I am not a law enforcement officer. But even I can think of a number of methods of taking down a perpetrator without killing him. And I don't have access to pepper spray, or a truncheon, or a taser, or even handcuffs. Needless to say, I also don't have access to a firearm.
Your point about George Zimmerman not being a law officer is fair. Zimmerman is a private citizen. But my larger point still remains.
In the second the officer had, he had to make a split second decision. Yeah, he could def done something else at the time but in his mind he felt threatened for his life after Brown went after his life. There is a video of an active member of the protest for Michael Brown activist who went through the split second decision training http://www.inquisitr.com/1746733/black-lives-matter-activist-police-force-scenarios/ . These officers have to make split second decisions. Also, to the number of times shooting, when you are in fight or flight mode you are pulling the trigger faster than normal to "remove the threat" and don't realize that you already went through a full mag.
I think it's awesome thst Jarret went through a series of Force scenarios. I think that should be something important for most people to undergo. And I realise these are hot-button topics for a lot of people.
What I would like is a thorough examination of the people who are law enforcement officers. Because there seem to be all kinds of cases coming out around police abusing positions of power.
But why do states that have cams on cops have both less police violence and a happier public?
The police foundation website, for being a yearlong study doesn't give a ton of data to back up his "Study"

Also, Cops was an amazing TV Show![]()
