I watched the movie Paul last night and I'm reminded of a quote (paraphrasing, can't remember it exactly):
cop: Where are you from? nerd: England. cop: There's no guns in England is there? nerd: Not really no. cop: Then how are the police supposed to shoot people?
Usually by accident or in questionable circumstances which then leads to an independent investigation which people feel is never satifactory. Leading to protests and in the case of August, riots.
