I think they should just arm policemen with rubber bullets to be honest. I know that doesn't solve the "real" issue, but at least thier "accidents" won't be as lethal.

Also they should still be held liable criminally and financially for mishaps, just so they don't think having rubber bullets mean a "shoot first" option.
They should only be able to bring real bullets only when the case calls for it. (Mabe keep them in the trunk)

Might not be the best option but it's better then what we got. Prisons use that model and it works....

In Brazil, “Ferguson” happens every day

In the last five years, the brazilian police killed more than the USA police in the last three decades.

By Vinicius Gomes

In the track of the non indicment of Darren Wilson, the white cop who murdered Michael Brown, a black young man from the city of Ferguson, in Missouri, Mac Margolis, the collaborator of the north-american portal Bloomberg View and resident in Brazil, said that a brazilian friend, during a conversation about the protests and manifestations that reached more than 170 cities of USA, showed little interest about the death with six shots of the desarmed young man. Margolis justifies: “Racism, outlaw cops and blind justice are so familiar [to the brazilian] as Havaianas and palm”.

The data that the north-american dispose in his text are some of the many brazilians have no notion: the brazilian police killed 2.212 people in 2013, according to a study published in the beginning of november of this year. Another shocking number is that 11.200 brazilian lives were taken by police violence in the last five years. This represents more than every other policial force of every USA county in the last 30 years: 11.090 dead people.

Other searches that are equally disturbing, serve to put in check those who reject the fact that a black skinned person is much more subject to police violence than a white person. According to the study by economist Daniel Cerqueira, 2009, the number of black victims of police violence is twice that of white and another study conducted by the University of San Carlos has shown that while blacks correspond to 34% of São Paulo population they make up 58% of the dead by the police. As stated by sociologist Ignacio Cano, a specialist in crime and police violence: “Our police kill the hundreds. We have a ‘Ferguson’ every day.”

A 2005 study conducted by Florida State University have showed that white police officers were more likely to shoot a desarmed black person than an armed white person. It was even created a list of 10 white men who actually confronted the police with gun and even then were not killed.

However, Brazil is still a more violent country, after all, in a place where 22 people are killed per 100 thousand inhabitants – a rate four times bigger than the USA – it’s not surprising at all that a big portion of the brazilian population still believes in the saying “a good bandit is a dead bandit”.

This ain't about Brazil

VIDEO in the link: On Saturday, November 29, 2014, days after the Grand Jury Decision, Knox College Women’s Basketball Player Ariyana Smith bravely held a one woman demonstration at the Knox College v. Fontbonne University game held in Clayton, MO.

During the singing of the national anthem, Ariyana walked with her hands up towards the American flag and fell to the ground for a full 4.5 minutes to bring awareness to the inhumane killing of Micheal Brown in which his body was left to lay on a neighborhood street for 4.5 hours.

While Ariyana lay on the ground in honor of fallen black lives, she was told to move so they could start the game. Refusing to compromise the integrity of the movement, Ariyana stood after the full 4.5 minutes with her fist proudly in their air.

She has been suspended from the team indefinitely. After the suspension, her coach unjustly had her escorted out of the building by security.

We are all Ferguson.

Black lives matter.

Thank you, Ariyana.

St. Louis Police Pursue Assault Charge Against Youngest Member Of Ferguson Commission

Posted: 12/06/2014 12:54 pm EST

WASHINGTON -- The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department this week convinced the local prosecutor's office to charge a prominent young Ferguson protester with misdemeanor assault because he allegedly made fleeting physical contact with a law enforcement official blocking access to St. Louis City Hall during a demonstration last month.


Rasheen Aldridge, a 20-year-old community activist, has been protesting in and around the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson on a regular basis ever since then-police officer Darren Wilson shot and killed 18-year-old Michael Brown on Aug. 9. Last month, Gov. Jay Nixon (D) named him to the Ferguson Commission, a task force intended to address problems in the St. Louis region that were highlighted in the wake of Brown's death. On Dec. 1, Aldridge was at the White House to meet with President Barack Obama to discuss the relationship between law enforcement and local communities. (He later said he left the meeting "disappointed" with Obama, whom he used to consider his "idol.")

It's no surprise, then, that the misdemeanor assault charge brought by St. Louis Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce against Aldridge grabbed local and even international headlines and gained traction in conservative circles. After all, a story about a prominent Ferguson protester being charged with assault fits in perfectly with the broad generalizations that many have made about those demonstrators: namely, that they're violent "thugs" with no respect for the law.
"From street mob activist to White House guest," conservative blogger Jim Hoft wrote on his website, Gateway Pundit, about the charge against Aldridge. "Torch a town -- Get invited to White House!" he added. But Hoft offered absolutely no proof that Aldridge had participated in any capacity in the looting, vandalism and arson that hit parts of Ferguson after a grand jury decided not to indict Wilson in Brown's death last month.


One video of the alleged misdemeanor assault appears to show Aldridge, in a gray cap, attempting to gain access to St. Louis City Hall along with a number of other demonstrators on Nov. 26, less than 48 hours after the grand jury decision was announced. At the time, the public building was on lockdown because authorities thought someone in the crowd may have had spray paint.

Aldridge -- who is just 5 feet 4 inches tall and weighs 110 pounds, according to court documents -- seems to be trying to open a City Hall door as a much larger city marshal stands guard. The marshal then appears to shove Aldridge, and the protester's hand touches and perhaps pushes the official.
Soon after the incident, police in riot gear wielding pepper spray would break up the demonstration around City Hall, claiming that the entire daytime assembly was unlawful because a few demonstrators "made contact" with law enforcement.

Susan Ryan, a spokeswoman for the Office of the St. Louis Circuit Attorney, emphasized that the third-degree assault charge against Aldridge is the "lowest-level misdemeanor available under the law." Aldridge has not been arrested, according to Ryan. Instead, she said, "He'll get a note in the mail, just like a parking ticket."


Ryan said that the prosecutor's office had a duty to evaluate the case after it was referred to the office by the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department.
"When we've got evidence that somebody has violated the law, then we review that evidence, and if we believe we can prove it beyond a reasonable doubt, we will charge somebody,"
