A major part of their job is arresting people who usually don't want to be arrested. Yes, I'm sure some police over-escalate a situation and end up dead for it, but that's probably not the norm.

Probably not? It's not like there's a lack of evidence out there now that everyone has a camera in their pocket.

From what I've seen it looks highly likely that their behavior is a big part of the problem.

Are you the type of person who thinks the world is much more violent today than it was 50 years ago?

I am me, period. Put me in whatever box you feel like.

I honestly have no idea if policing has gotten more violent or if it's just more visible now. I would guess both. But it doesn't really matter, does it? It's still a major issue that we need to fix somehow.
