I think this is where we might disagree. I can't comment for other countries. I can comment a little about Chicagoland. If there is a failure, it is not the failure of the process ( here understood as policing ). At this point, 'justified shooting' is merely what I would classify as 'necessary violence'. I am not using that word lightly, because actual violence only creates problems.
It is the failure of:
1. Society that allowed a given issue to fester long enough to move beyond tension 2. Individuals' environment that contributed to it 3. Individuals' family and fiends 4. The individual
Police merely deals with the aftermath. I think you got it wrong.
There will never be a good cop until accountability is an actual thing in policing.
Even a "justified" shooting by a cop should be considered a horrific failure of process.
