0 shootings of unarmed people is noble, but bat-shit unrealistic.  And questionable doesn't mean it's a bad shoot.  I just look at 100 or 200 wrongful deaths out of 10M arrests and, knowing cops are human, how much lower that number can get practically speaking.  "Hands up don't shoot" is great advice, and maybe we should stop advocating it as a form of protest and urge people to do it, you know, in actual practice.

Expecting perfection from cops is neither realistic nor the best approach.  But the narrative isn't really even about mistakes or procedure, but racism.  And I think that's deplorable, unfortunate and ineffective.
