Incompetence and accidental killings should not be without severe consequence. Policing needs to be more finely focused on ensuring public safety from serious crimes and less about collecting fines, speeding tickets, harassing poor people, and flinging lead at every loud nose.
Police are important, and it's important to have quality policing.
This. By far, policing is not the most dangerous job, the most rigorous job, or even the job with the most liability for incompetence. Yet somehow it has gotten incredible leeway from the public in regards to acceptable standards for performance.
No other profession would be able to get away with the sheer level of incompetence and corruption these guys get away with. I am not anti-police. I am simply pro-professionalism.
