It's really this simple.
#1) don't do illegal, unlawful things
#2) don't point a fire arm at an officer
#3) listen to all officers commands
If those 3 steps are followed I bet there are handful of shootings over course of a year and not a couple a week.
-----------
If I kill someone, I expect to be shot
If I point a gun at an officer I expect to be shot
If I walk back to my car (maybe to get something or maybe to not listen) when a officer tells me to put hands up or get on the ground... I put myself in a situation for additional force by officer and to potentially be shot.
In any of those situations happen, even my own parents would admit I put myself into the situation. It's not the officers fault it's MY fault.
Unfortunately, until we start educating young children and adults and help people get out of a perpetual lifestyle where people don't know any better, things won't change.
