NYPD Officers Kill Mentally-Challenged Black Man They Say Aimed a Metal Pipe at Them Like a Gun

Alan: Americans are under the mythic "spell" of "cops and robbers." 

Consequently, we kill an ungodly number of innocuous people - some of them in wheelchairs! - because we've taught ourselves - and especially our police - to be "trigger happy."

How about every American patrol car come equipped with a "tranquilizer gun."

And binoculars.

Coupled with "keeping a safe distance," it would be possible to break our murderous "spell."
