Police officers have a tough job and if the people listened to their orders they wouldn't get shot.  Simple as that.  Are they wrong and do they make mistakes?  Absolutely, more than their fair share.  But I would be 99% of the shootings are due to citizens putting themselves in a situation where a shooting can occur

And police are not trained to shoot to injure... Never have been.

That situation being a black man pulled over by the cops? One dude was leaning up against his car with his hands up and he was shot. Another guy was sitting in his car complying and was shot. 

The "respect cops" excuse is gone. I'm not going to cry foul with cases like Michael Brown. That was justified. I just don't understand how someone can keep suggesting it's a lack of a respect for cops after Philandro Castile.
