I'm not overly concerned, this forum is extremely USA-centric.

Across the entire UK there were only 4 police shootings in to 2016 and only 2 total in all of 2012-2014.

I'm willing to bet America has 4 yesterday (even adjusting for proportion populations)

Well, UK officers don't carry guns as much as US officers do. UK officers also don't have to worry about guns as much. However, the lack of centralization of the US system and culture/mindset of the US officers (as a whole) are the main problems IMO
