Just my opinion and I respect others beliefs too.
It isn't that simple though. There are several instances where the person wasn't doing anything incorrectly but the cop still did not act correctly. I saw an article talking about training cops in hand to hand combat so they are more confident they can handle issues without a gun. It was lowering situations of police brutality and misconduct. It could lead to a cop breaking someone's arm but that is a lot better than shooting someone.
