That's too bad. Perhaps the communities who are sick of having their people shot and killed should pony up and help them buy non-lethal weapons. Or take to the streets until the state buys them. I dunno, but since there are options out there, everyone should be diligently working towards making sure the police has them. The alternative is, people keep dying.
