So why isn't anything being done to stop police from killing people?

Exactly. That was what I was getting at, too. Problem is even worse when the media hyper-reports on the "bad apples" to the point that it makes them ALL look bad. When that is far from the case in actuality. It's more a reflection of our country's mindset of what's "trending" in media, than it is of police in general. When we keep showing primarily the bad side of the job- ie, the ones who either abuse authority or make snap decisions based on racial bias- it only reinforces the view of minorities that all police are "out ot get them". It's a vicious circle that needs to stop.
