FIREARMS, to use or not to use???

The recent fatal shootings of a kid in Shah Alam, PDRM has been blamed for negligence
The Police has said that it's for self defense during their course of actions
However, not too many people buy that reason
Meanwhile many people has make a big issue against the Police especially some politicians

We must also understand that some criminal suspects are very hard to apprehend
They are good in running and hiding so much so it complicates the Police's mission
Hence, the Police will try to bring them in when they face them during confrontations
Of course, the fatal shooting will remain as the big question

We are not living in the era of Bonnie & Clyde during the period of Great Depression
Where criminals and Police used Tommy Machine Guns to confront in the style of execution
In the modern society, every single bullet that deploy from the barrel requires explanations
Looks like the Police has to explain way beyond reasonable doubt over this incident

To ask the Police not to carry firearm is unfair as they are expose to threats like terrorism
Yet, we do not condone this "Trigger Happy" intimidations
So, where do we strike the balance?
Perhaps firearm manufacturer can come out with a better solution

The barrel of firearm can be equip with a camera lens as a recording mechanism
Once the firearm is grip, the recording will automatically begins with voice system
The recording will go straight to the Police Department
That way, no Police officer can do any manipulations

The Police department can have both visual and conversations
This technology is possible as the Israelist (if correct) has already developed such weapon
The weapon can fire from a 90 degree angle with lens and monitor for observation
This will eliminate all the questions and arguments

In retrospect, this move will take sometime before it ever happen
As the cost of purchasing such weapon can be quite a burden
Especially when our Prime Minister is trying to bring deficit into reduction
Such weapon will eat up the budget of government

Meanwhile, the Police must use firearm with serious caution
Any officer who has pull out the gun (even if they don't shoot) will be subject to interrogations
As firearm must not fall into the hands of those who are highly emotion
Otherwise, the Police will develop a "trigger happy" reputation
