What this topic has to do with me being a retired principal I have no idea.
In a study conducted in Rialto, California, police wearing video cams resulted in a 50% reduction in police use of force, yet they still got the job done. There was also a 90% reduction in citizen complaints against police officers.

Lastly thank you to the NYPD officers who got this dirt bag off the street. Thank god you are ok so you can return to your families that fear for your safety nightly. Also thank you for doing a very difficult job and protecting the rights of current event posters who enjoy criticizing your work without ever having the balls to do it themselves!!!!

I'd venture to say that these posters have much more to fear from young black males than they do the police.

100% Wrong. Don't put your racism on everyone else. I have never had a young black male do anything bad to me in my life, and I have been around places where there were a lot of young black males. OTOH, I have been robbed and harassed by police too many times to even count.
I have never had a young black male force my car to stop, and then shake me down for money. I have never had young black male force me out of my car, and then start searching it violation of my constitutional rights.
I have never seen a young black male carjack a car. I know it happens, because I have seen videos of it. But I have never seen it happen with my own eyes. So I don't worry much about it. OTOH I can look out my window any time of the day or night and see jackbooted government thugs, robbing people on the highway, every 15 minutes.
But you think I should fear something, that I have never ever seen happen, more then something that I see happen every 15 minutes with my own eyes. Your reality sure is weird, to say nothing about irrational.
NYPD have TERRIBLE triggers on their glocks (I have a NY1 trigger on my glock). Combined with situational pressure and the fact that it is a handgun one can expect a rather low hit rate. Hnaguns are self defense tools that one should use to fight to a rifle. Accuracy with a rifle would be vastly improved.

A handgun is best used aimed carefully at a paper target (which isn't moving and isn't shooting at me) ...

Pretty much. Beyond that use hit rate goes out the window. Just too difficult to hold on target like a rifle. We just got gongs at my range. Advantage arms 22 kit on my 19 is a fun afternoon shooting at metal.
