Let's not give them too much credit here. I mean you can't think that they aren't actively making these choices to kill people. Putting the blame just on poor training and heightened alerted states is helping to remove the responsibility they should have for these murders.

Cops have framed innocent people for a long time. What would stop them from continuing that?

This is where welfare systems help. Most crime happens because of the system we live in and people's needs not being met. If people didn't have trouble affording food or homes we would already have much less crime and that's just the beginning.

They did plenty of damage with fists and clubs not too long ago.

I think underestimating cops intelligence is dangerous. I think it is an easy scapegoat and helps remove responsibility for these people.

What would guarantee those that the other body could not be corrupted or for any other reason be swayed to be in favor of the state? I think that this would just be the same situation we have now but with more steps and even less responsibility for the police.
Reforming the system to remove any opportunity for police to behave this way is what I think makes most sense.

This is the system we have now though. The problem is cops aren't actually held accountable for their actions.
Who is going to investigate the cops killing someone. Other cops? "We have investigated ourselves and found that we have done nothing wrong."

The problem with this is that they can just say they think that person was going to be a harm to others. Now they are justified in being an executioner.
