You need only look to the Uniform Crime Report for many of your answers.  I agree with your main point though, most LEO's are good people and are unfairly demonized by the media, Democratic politician's and a public that have been persuaded that most LEO's are willing participants in a racist machine designed to kill "people of color".  I also agree about body cameras, to a large extent.  I wouldn't want them on all the time, that kind of Big Brother crap is unacceptable to me.  But they should be turned on when a call is answered or a contact is initiated.

The reason I brought up the other incident is because it happened just prior to the kneeling incident and racial tensions were already high in the country and boiled over with the Floyd incident.

Yes, I'll say it again, most LEO's are good folks that do a good job and are a credit to their profession, but just like any profession,(Doctors, Lawyers, Teachers, etc.) you have the bad apples. I truly don't see LEO's being demonized by the media anymore than any other profession to be honest, as a matter of fact, I see "feel good" stories all the time on the news such as cops taking underprivileged kids to Wal-Mart and buying them coats,toys,etc.

I just don't believe that politician's (Democrat or otherwise) or the public have been persuaded that most LEO's are willing participants in a racist machine killing"Killing people of color". I just call bull-pucky on that, just like I think the term"De-fund the Police" is bull-pucky.

Do I believe there needs to be some kind of police reforms in our country? You bet, just like teacher's who sexually prey on their students and I've heard plenty of stories about that in the media over the last several years, there needs to be education reforms also. I would hope college students that are wanting a degree in education that want to teach would have to take classes on the subject and be aware that "that kind of behavior" is just unacceptable. Just like racial profiling and police brutality should be unacceptable in law enforcement.

I just realized I'll probably catch heck from all the doctor's, lawyers, cops and teachers on the board who read this.
