As it stands, it's too easy for police to kill people and get away with it. The he said / she said nonsense all comes down to who is better represented in court. Most of this can be fixed by making them all wear cameras with audio. Then it will always be clear what happened. It will sort out the hot heads from the legit police officers real quick. I don't think that is too much to ask from someone who has the legal authority to take a life. We have the technology for this to happen right now, so there is really no excuse why they all are not wearing a cam right now.
