Let's say that there was the "perfect" non-lethal weapon. Kind of like a phaser from Star Trek set to "stun" mode.

Would that be a good thing? I imagine there would be a lot of cases where they just stun everyone because, why not?

For that matter, maybe just implant everyone with a lights-out switch.

I know your comment was flippant but it demonstrates really constrained thinking. I don't know the path to get there but there are plenty of societies with better mental and democratic health than the US. It is possible to have a society that doesn't allow police to routinely kill people.
