This proves we need to invest other resources in how we work in all our communities.
We need police to be trained and require the to have at least 2 years in counseling and a FBI type background check.
These police had been called because of a domestic dispute. Here is one of my left wing "crazy" ideas have train crisis counselors sent to deal with the issue.
Maybe I have no place in saying this: I am a white woman who lived a shelter life but the only police I have know in my life have been egomaniacs who had been high school jock-bullies. One was racists as hell. I will never trust a cop!

we need local, county, state and national politicians willing to do the necessary work... and maybe the same people can fix a lot of other things while they're about it!
