Why do the parents of black shooting victims always blame someone or something else for the death or injury?

    Take the recent shooting at Ferguson for example. The kids parents should be thankful he is still alive instead of trying to apportion blame on the police. He shot at police, they retaliated. End of story!

    I can't remember many Parents saying, yeah my kid was a real jerk. To bad they didn't take time to shoot him in his knees and elbows before shooting him in the head. I hope the courts understand how bad my kid wanted to get shot by anyone he crossed. It really wasn't your fault Mr. Shooter my kid deserved it.

    I have heard white parents of school shooters blame everyone from the gun makers to school policies and then some. What? You think parents of darkies don't have the same privileges to whine as the brighter whiter parents?

    Wait..... You can't post in one post and think you have a point?

    Some people!!!! Remember just cause your head is pointy it don't mean you have a point.

    The thing is a police shooting is very rare in Australia. Police here only shoot people who deserve to be shot.

    Rare? Deserve to be shot?

    Maybe you want to visit down under again, dinky dogs shooting are more common than you might think. And it seems they like shooting cracked Bogan nuts.

    Almost half of people shot dead by Australian police were mentally ill

    According to a new report from the Australian Institute of Criminology, there were 105 fatal police shootings between 1989-90 and 2010-11 and 44 of those people had a mental illness, with psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia being the most common.

    Drugs and alcohol are also overrepresented, with postmortem toxicology results showing in 51% of fatal shootings the victim was intoxicated.

    The report comes as the mother of a boy shot by police in 2008 filed a landmark action with the United Nations designed to overhaul Australia's procedure of investigating the police.

    There have been a number of high-profile police shootings of people with mental illness in recent years. In November 2009 Adam Salter was shot at his home in Lakemba, Sydney after police had responded to a call saying Salter was trying to stab himself. Salter had a history of mental health illnesses and had recently been held as an involuntary patient at the Concord Centre for Mental Health, before being discharged back into the community.

    Shoot to kill: the use of lethal force by police in Australia

    Over the weekend, Queensland police shot and killed a 51-year-old man who was allegedly armed with a knife. On Monday night, another man was shot and killed on the Gold Coast. It was the sixth Queensland police shooting in 2014 and the fourth fatal shooting in a matter of months.

    These incidents have again placed the use of lethal force by police in the spotlight. How prevalent is the use of lethal force by police in Australia? Is a disturbing trend developing in Queensland?

    The recent ABC documentary Trigger Point focuses on the period in Victoria in which police killed 30 people and two police officers were executed in retaliation.
