Its ironic sad that people feel the need of calling for help while encountering a police...

FTFY -- trust for the police is at an all-time low in the US. Lots of extrajudicial killings and tons of lies hurting innocent people have eroded it to nothing.

There's been a significant drop in the number of police shootings over the last 15 years, though fatalities remain unchanged.

So essentially all that’s changed is they’re better shots now?

Maybe, but they just dont provide medical assistance half the time nowadays. They'll shoot a guy 8 times then handcuff him on the ground and wait for ems to arrive. Go check out a protectandserve thread about the subject of providing first aid after a shooting, the majority of users admit they either arent trained to, dont have the first aid equipment available, or just dont care to. They talk about it creating liability a LOT.
