Maybe, I am from a different planet, but sometimes I heard, that police should protect people, but currently some policemen are more caring about protecting themselves -- and they are trained exactly that way.

This at least, as an European, goes threw my mind, when I read such descriptions and some news from unarmed people shot into the back.

Why does it not make sense that the police should be trained on how to protect themselves? Also EU gun control laws are stricter than in the US so that is why maybe your police force will be nice and not expect everyone to own a gun.

They should protect themselves, but not protect themselves and forget to protect others. So, they become a part of the problem.

Even, when you expect everybody to have guns, it does not justify shooting others into the back.

I never mentioned anything about shooting others in the back.

But I did and that is what is happening. And just keeping quiet about it, does not make it better.
