A lot [not all] of these situations could be averted if citizens didn't still have the idea that Police should be called to 'settle or solve' any situation - other than, maybe, a last resort if someone is as risk of death. This notion is drilled into most Americans - that the police are your friend and will help out....more likely they will kill - especially the non-white and poor. I know my own parents taught me to never be trustful of the police - but they were not the ordinary American parents....
