> So instead finding the cause and fixing it The cause for cops murdering innocent civilians is that the cost for doing so is zero. Increase the cost and the problem goes away. Moreover, bad cops are bullies who thrive on bossing people around without consequences. Introduce consequences, and these lowlives who shouldn't be cops find a more suitable profession. > this is how our current prosecution system works and it fails on so many levels. It deters me from killing people who pissed me off. > Cops will still shoot people, because they will rather go to jail then be dead. And guess what, that's fine. There is probably no perfect solution, you know, the kind where nobody gets shot and no cop goes to jail. It's almost as if the real world requires some sort of compromise. Who would have thought? |

Usually this falls under self defence. As far as I know, if someone is on your property and you shoot them, you can say it was self defence and you have the chance to get away with it clean. I heard so many stories about this, like where a guy shot a teenager dead because the kid was drunk and wanted to steal a garden gnome or something.
> It deters me from killing people who pissed me off.
Well, I don't know what your job is, but I presume it doesn't involve guns in any shape or form, or the possibility to go to a place and get shot at. And hey it deters you, but there are a couple of other million people whom it does not. With this mentality we wouldn't have mass shootings and gun crimes at all, not even a simple robbery.
> There is probably no perfect solution
Yup, that is very true.
Anyway, all I think is that the US gun laws are responsible in some extent for police brutality. Take away guns from civilian hands and you can have a much more relaxed and non-lethal approach to law enforcement. This might not work 100%, or it might not work at all, but it would be worth a try. Too many people are shot to death in the US. Sooner or later people get to used to it and then nothing will change.
