I think it's a really difficult issue and beyond saying get rid of the guns, and they are so ingrained in the US way of thinking I don't know if that is an achievable goal, I don't know what to tell you. I'm sure more training always helps though I doubt they are lacking in training realistically. I do have some sympathy for the police in the US who are in a difficult situation. I doubt any of the shootings are more than split second decision, maybe even panic in some situations. "The other guy or me, I choose me, bang." All lives matter but I doubt in many of these cases in the press that the officer sets out to shoot a black person, or any person. That isn't to say there isn't blame on the police sometimes too but I don't see it as being clear cut.

When every person you confront in you law keeper job could have a gun how can you deal with that confrontation without getting shot yourself?

I suppose something that could be done is to ban all fake weapons that look realistic or make them have some sort of glow in the dark neon colour that makes its obvious it's not a real gun so those kinds of mistakes don't happen.
