How many innocent lives could be saved if we held every death to this standard of "zero tolerance"! Police don't kill randomly, they also concentrate their policing on folks who commit violence against innocent citizens. Look at the % of violent crimes committed by a segment of our population not their % of the population at large when reaching conclusions about policing equity! Big city "clearance rates" for violent crimes are abysmal...you have a 2/3 chance of getting away with murder in some, where is the "justice" that everyone chants about for those victims? Those murders aren't randomly committed by the population at large, so of course there will be more police interactions with the subgroup who represent most of the "perps" and they will resist capture with violence towards the police disproportionately as compared to the population at large, and some will be killed in the process.
