This is how policing works all over the developed world. Only in America is "murder by cop" a realistic option, and that's 100% a problem with American policing.

This is emphatically false. There are several other horrilble places where cops will murder civilians as well, without thinking twice about it.

Also, if you look at those statistics Canada is actually pretty high up there with cops murdering people as well.
