There needs to be a psychology study done with cops to understand why they act the way they do. I believe there's an underlying problem in how they are trained or something else because police brutality is kind of a global phenomenon. When someone kills or severely hurts the people they are supposed to protect, it seems like there's something else going on. I've been in a few protests and I can easily say that I have never seen more hatred in someone's eyes other than the cops that were beating up people.

The rate of police killings is vastly higher in the US than any other Western country. So something is going on there that is not a universal phenomenon.

People in US have too many guns. Cops are afraid for their life and use preventive violence.

Switzerland has a lot of guns yet we don't have this police issue here.

>>sschue+UE
How many police are killed in Switzerland per year?

What's your argument here ? Police brutality is ok because US police officers are more prone to being killed ? By now there are thousands of videos clearly showing people not resisting, sometimes not even participating in any crime, being beaten and/or killed by the police, it's not normal and no one should defend that.

Gun violence in the US is the symptom of very deep problems, you can't consider it just by itself while disregarding the societal issues being it.

No one said that police brutality is OK, just that it can be partially explained by the fact that police in the US are more likely to be killed than in other countries.
