[QUOTE="Hank77, post: 72217800, member: 378311"] We would really need to take a look at each case and determine if the killing occurred because of excessive force or was a case of return fired or the suspect pulling a gun. In other countries there are much stricter gun laws and most criminals aren't running around with guns. This makes it much easier for police to use less force and still do their jobs. Here is a recent incident. [I][URL='https://www.denverpost.com/2018/01/04/douglas-county-shooting-zackari-parrish-castle-rock-police/']As a Castle Rock police officer[/URL], Parrish once pulled money from his wallet to buy a hotel room for a man with nowhere to sleep, said his former boss, Castle Rock Police Chief Jack Cauley. Parrish once held a child in his arms so the child wouldn’t see the handcuffs officers were placing on a parent. He had a gift, Cauley and others said, to use humor to deescalate tense encounters, including the time a driver in a vehicle he approached called out that he had a concealed carry permit and a weapon. “You don’t move yours and I don’t move mine. We got a deal?” Cauley recalled Parrish saying. The morning he died, Parrish was in front of other deputies calmly talking through a door to a man who had barricaded himself in his apartment bathroom. Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock, who listened to body camera audio after the ambush, told mourners he had never heard a calmer voice in such a situation. “Not once did I hear Zack Parrish use a foul word. Not once did I hear him raise his voice. Not one time,” the sheriff said. “Up until the moment Deputy Zack Parrish died, he was pleading with the man, begging him, ‘Let me talk to you. Let me help you. Please.’ And then the killer killed him.”[/I] [URL='https://www.denverpost.com/2018/01/05/zackari-parrish-funeral/']Douglas County Sheriff's Deputy Zack Parrish funeral draws thousands[/URL] Zack Parish was 29 yrs. old and married with 2 small children.
