The first comment they make "hes getting shot" with a big freaking grin on their faces thats the wrong mentality totally. IMO cops in America are far too trigger happy.

The situation in the video is regarding knife/machete attacks. See the video below concerning the safe distance to a melee opponent.

Quote:The first comment they make "he's getting shot" with a big freaking grin on their facesI sure as hell would be saying the same thing. You seem to be implying that just because they're smiling they somehow enjoy shooting people. Also note, he didn't say 'kill', he said 'shot', which doesn't have to be lethal. On top of that, the video you posted is clearly loaded with a 'propoganda' effect, as the second part of it is just a bunch of clips with white cop on black guy reports.

Surely it doesn't, but it's quite unreasonable to say that the two underlying actions behind those statistics have no effect on each other whatsoever.
