The way I see is that American cops are ridiculously trigger-happy with their guns. In my home country (the stinkhole of Vietnam), people trying to brawl and threaten police officers and even motherfucking SWATs with knifes (all armed from head to toe) aren't that uncommon. I never see any officer have to draw their weapon, instead just subjugate the stupid poo poo with his fists and trusty baton

It's amazing their hands can support such awesome.
The settlement of the union complaint against Ray Tensing in Cincinnati was announced today. The arbitration board ruled that the University had violated the union contract in firing him and was obligated to reinstate him with back pay. The University settled by covering his back pay and paying his 6-figure legal fees in exchange for his resignation.

In talking with some of my old coworkers over there this was pretty much expected from day 1 if he wasn't convicted, as the University President at the time ordered the Director of Public Safety to fire him immediately, without any of the due process required through the union contract. Local news is in an uproar.

“According to the lawsuit, Brachle should not have been involved in the undercover drug buy – $60 for meth – because he missed the required briefing beforehand. Brachle, the lawsuit contends, failed to follow APD protocol and training by rushing the car and opening the door on the driver’s side where undercover detectives always sit rather than slowly approaching the passenger’s side. He failed to distinguish the two undercover detectives, both of whom are white, from the suspects, both of whom are black.

He failed to recognize Grant, sitting in the back seat behind the driver, despite knowing Grant would be sitting there, despite having worked with Grant for two years, despite Grant not wearing a facial disguise, despite Grant wearing the same recognizable clothing he always wore on operations, despite it being broad daylight and clear weather. “

The NYPD shoots fewer suspects than basically any other department in the US, usually by a huge margin.

https://news.vice.com/amp/en_us/article/j5vm7d/nypd-officers-shot-the-fewest-people-ever-this-year

I'm phoneposting so I don't have the patience to track down relevant analysis pieces, but there are a bunch of factors which led to this, not least of which are training, accountability, and local gun control measures.
