I think police need to be retrained to not resort to pulling out their gun initially and they should try to deescalate the situation if possible, but sometimes there are situations where they need to use force against an armed suspect.
We can also fund community outreach programs. Studies have shown tension is less likely to happen between the community and police if they know eachother, and police have a vested interest in the community.
