As it stands Police officers cannot complain about distrust and open hatred from the public if they aren't willing to take a stand against these killers.
Long term, better training and a tougher screening process are needed. These killers should have never been given a gun and a badge in the first place if they are going to lose their heads and murder people as a first response.

B) No amount of 'Improved Training' will prevent the types of 'Murder By Cops' in question, because in such cases, it is not a lack of training which causes the cop to kill, it is a wilful, deliberate DESIRE to kill - a desire enabled by the very fact that the perpetrator is a cop - coupled with the oh so reassuring knowledge, that being a cop also LARGELY affords protection against legal recrimination for carrying out the murder.
Basically; Laws, which were formed to keep the unlawful lawful, only really affect the law abiding anyway, because the unlawful really don't give a feck.
