My Question ?

How can we stop cops from shooting unarmed people?

      Police kill a lot of unarmed people.  So far in 2015, as many as 100 unarmed people have been killed by police. First, a bit of background.  So far in 2015, there have been around 400 fatal police shootings already; one in six of those killings, 16 percent, were of unarmed people, 49 had no weapon at all and 13 had toys, according to the Washington Post.  Of the police killings this year less 1 percent  have resulted in the officer being charged with a crime.  The Guardian did a study which included killings by Tasers and found 102 people killed by police so far in 2015 were unarmed and that unarmed Black people are twice as likely to be killed by police as whites.  
     This should stop ASAP. Police are not helping anybody by shooting them if they do not have a reason too. Some of the reasons do not even sound reasonable. Instead of real bullets cops should have rubber bullets for warning shots.
