Right.... Only you are going about it the wrong way.

The better solution would be to stop cops from shooting innocent people or inappropriately.

Your suggestion would only make the problem worse.

So how do we stop the police from using deadly force as a first resort without becoming targets ourselves?

What's the better way? The better way that the police will GAF about? They have the power of judge, jury and executioner. Even the president doesn't have that power. They injure and kill people in their custody and get away with it every time. The police don't GAF what we want.

Ever hear of hyperbole? The fact remains that the number of cops convicted of murder for killings they committed while on duty is so small as to amount to statistical noise.

Our justice system is so compromised now, why would it matter?

I fear the police and do not trust them. They are above the law and they know it. I would also flee in fear of my life.

I'm afraid that would trigger the predator instinct.

Paranoia can be a consequence of too much weed.
