From what I have seen and heard from family in the US, most people react very agressively towards Police in America, therefore Police has to use force to protect themselves. How many Police men and women have been killed over the years by idiots looking for revenge?
If Police tells one to stop, put your hands behind your back, guilty or innocent, one has to obide and not try to fight the Police, throw insults at them and even threaten them.
You hardly ever see a Police officer wrestle a person to the ground in Australia. Why? Because even drunks and junkies have more respect for the Law.
So, don't try to turn us all against American Police. The people being arested or questioned are just as bad or worse.

Most people aren't aggressive toward the police, and most police aren't aggressive. It only appears that way because there are cameras everywhere these days, combined with a lefty Government that settles the cases claiming it's cheaper in the long run. Which is bull...it encourages more people to resist and break the law.
And....there are probably as many cops in the US as there are Australians in Australia. You're bound to get a few bad apples, which all considered is less than .001%. (IMO)
So far the only case I know of where an innocent person was shot is this last case and the facts aren't all out...yet.
