I can understand shooting a man who's actively intending to pose a threat.... but just riddling a guy with bullets because he happens to be armed inside his own home, after 2 relatives of his had been murdered in a home intrusion. That's not a police force, that's not even a bunch of Judge Dredds... at least Dredd was a professional... these guys where just a bunch of trigger-loving cowboys who each think they're Dirty Harry or something.
It shouldn't be necessary to move to another jurisdiction to get away from them. It's despicable that people are that afraid of the police in what is supposed to be a civilised country. And it doesn't help matters than any politician who might immediately try and reign in the police will immediately get attacked by their opponent for being 'soft on crime'. The first sign of a society gone bad is when honest people have reason to be afraid of the police.

In contrast, there's on average
