On the other hand it's usually just a patrol officer that murders an unarmed civilian in our annual police outrage, I can only think of one incident where a police sniper murdered someone when they shouldn't have. Personally I think my town needs to eliminate it's horse patrol. It has shown no use aside from PR and suppression of peaceful demonstration that couldn't be provided by cheaper bicycle cops.No one wants to eliminate SWAT teams.
Well...I guess we should do a CBA before we do, I suppose...
