As for sh**tty police work. There is only about 1-2% of the population that have ever been in the line of fire. So those that haven't including police officers, it is a mixed bag when that day comes or threat is perceived.

Culture, action and zip code sadly intensifies that perceived threat.

That's what training and good supervision are for. 'Bad shoots'
cost taxpayers in wrongful death settlements.

I guess you can scratch Newt from the VP short list after these remarks:

Newt Gingrich: 'Normal white Americans ... don't understand being black in America'

Source: CNN

Washington (CNN) — Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said Friday that "normal white Americans" don't understand "being black in America."

"It took me a long time, and a number of people talking to me through the years, to get a sense of this: If you are a normal white American, the truth is you don't understand being black in America and you instinctively under-estimate the level of discrimination and the level of additional risk," he said Friday on CNN Political Commentator Van Jones' Facebook Live stream.

Jones and Gingrich discussed this past week's shootings in Dallas, Texas; Baton Rouge, Louisiana; and near Minneapolis, Minnesota. Five Dallas police officers were shot and killed Thursday night as hundreds protested the back-to-back police shooting deaths of two African-American men earlier in the week.

Gingrich, who is among those being considered as Donald Trump's runningmate, said white parents do not have to teach their children how to interact with police the way black parents do.

"It is more dangerous to be black in America," he said. "It is more dangerous in that they are substantially more likely to end up in a situation where the police don't respect you and you could easily get killed. And sometimes for whites it difficult to appreciate how real that is and how it's an everyday danger."
