Whether you agree or disagree with the decision of the Grand Jury not to indict Officer Wilson we all can agree that the use of deadly force by the police needs to be reduced. This is one area where the Federal Government can be involved by equipping and training all police forces with the most up to date Taser equipment. The use of Taser equipment will stun a perpetrator but not kill them and therefore reduce the need for deadly force to only when the officers life is in jeopardy. Police Officers also should have a body camera if they are working the streets to insure the public that they don’t take matters into their own hand, when confronting a criminal. Let us work to build a future of trust between the Police and the community they serve
