At the present time an average police officer can shoot an average unarmed person, kill them and will likely face zero criminal charges for the act.

In all seriousness, that is getting very close to a police state.

Do you have an independent reference for that, by any chance?

It would also be interesting to hear your opinion as to typical motive for doing such a thing.
