Police killings in the US are around 40 times higher per capita than in the rest of the developed world. Murder Rate is also around 5 times higher than in the rest of the developed world.
Clearly this are problems that needs to be addressed.
My opinion is, that the first step to solve this issue are good safety nets for everyone.
Sentence lengths need to be reduced and victimless crimes should not be punished.
The prison system must be rebuild from the ground up to reintegrate offenders to reduce the risk of re-offending.
Police training needs to be improved as well. It can't be that two sober cops end up shooting a drunk that is sobering up in his car in the back because they are unable to handle such a ordinary situation.
