All good points.

I don’t think I said anything about the job being easy. Just that if you look at it from a distance, the majority of police work done in our society serves the purpose of creating criminals out of harmless people more so than it does to deal with situations like this one. And when these things happen, there’s training issues.

I’m also not saying it’s the fault of the actual officers, themselves. More so that the justice system and the laws it enforces exists primarily to fill the State’s coffers, rather than represent the interests of the People it “serves.”
