Why?
Why what? Why do I think the government should not kill people? Mostly because I don't want to be killed and working for the government I am aware of just how callus it can be when people get caught up in the bureaucracy.

No no no...why do you expect perfection of this one occupation? Wouldn't you expect there to be mistakes?
"It most certainly shouldn't happen to innocent people."
By comparison:
It seems that every time researchers estimate how often a medical mistake contributes to a hospital patient's death, the numbers come out worse.
In 1999, the Institute of Medicine published the famous "To Err Is Human" report, which dropped a bombshell on the medical community by reporting that up to 98,000 people a year die because of mistakes in hospitals. The number was initially disputed, but is now widely accepted by doctors and hospital officials — and quoted ubiquitously in the media.

Bet people expect perfection from their physicians.....

And the same question should be asked in relation to cops....does the good they do out weigh whatever harm a few may cause? We are not perfect and to hold anyone to that standard is simply unreasonable.Yes, hospitals and staff make mistakes, they are human.
They also deal with extremely critically ill people. This seems like a big number and everything should be done to reduce it, but I wonder how many people the hospital and staff save and or do the right thing, to help someone recover?
Actually they don't...and that's the irony. A dr misdiagnosed someone and it led to their death...as long as he's got a reasonable explanation, you'll never see protests or screaming for sweeping reforms. We just accept it and move on...
Yet the Dr gets 8+ years of schooling, 2+ years of job training, and 100s of thousands of dollars...and there's just as little accountability.
Good faith mistakes are one thing, pure incompetence is quite another for both docs and cops.....Actually they don't...and that's the irony.

...pulled over for a broken tail lamp.
SMH. I've been pulled over for a taillight out and a headlight out. At no time was I ever asked for my license or registration or proof of insurance. They were just, like... "are you aware that this light is out?" "No, thank you for telling me, officer, I will have it taken care of the first chance I get."
But then again, I'm white, so...

can't give numbers but most of the time......How often do cops deal with extremely dangerous/violent people and do the right thing....to resolve the problem?

I would disagree, being in healthcare for as long as I have.
Our legal environment in the United States, most assuredly brings mistakes to the surface and shines a real bright light on them.

You're kidding yourself there...
You're telling me that every time a misdiagnosis causes unnecessary pain and suffering...the victim is compensated? Every time a surgeon makes a mistake that leads to death or serious injury...he's prosecuted?
They hide behind a legal team and a staff willing to corroborate their version of events just as much as any cop.
Understand, justice is not perfect either.....injustice will happen.....You're kidding yourself there...
