It's a mix of solo and pairs. Traffic Officers and Highway Patrol are typically solo. Officers called to crime scenes or to settle disputes/pursue suspects of violent crimes are typically in pairs. The former typically don't arrive to the scene brandishing their weapons, though they are armed. The latter is more likely to be brandishing their weapons (at least one of the officers) as they are likely entering a hostile situation.
Who cares about Cleveland guys? Place has a Hellmouth under it, you can't solve it's problems by merely weeding out corrupt cops.
Though I'd be curious about the amount of black suspects who were shot. Or rather the amount of those who resisted arrest and were shot. I think it said a good chunk were unarmed so surely none of them resisted arrest since it'd be stupid to resist arrest especially if unarmed. So the cops just shot these guys for no reason?

The police should just not patrol thise neighborhoods and ignore any emergency phone calls concerning crime in those areas. Let black people police themselves and we'll see how far they get.
Yeah, I agree. The rookie cop did nothing wrong here and frankly I'm tired of hearing blacks and liberals throw a temper tantrum when a jury decides, after hearing evidence, not to indict or convict someone. It's getting extremely annoying. FFS, if people have a problem with how our justice system works then they need to seriously consider moving to another country.

Why do you always try to downplay the importance of fixing police corruption? I'm starting to become convinced that you're the head of a police union or something.
I was obviously kidding about the Hellmouth thing. I've never said fixing police corruption isn't important. Just that it's not more important then certain other issues. But that is just my opinion. Also I've been watching Buffy and Angel reruns on netflix.
I'm no cop, I'd be a terrible cop I'm paranoid so I'd most likely end up accidentally shooting people. I think it's important for people to recognize if they shouldn't be allowed to wield firearms.

The reason I asked whether cops patrol solo or with partners is that it seems more cops that are implicated in "shooting first" seem to be solo cops.
Solo cops who may seem more fearful for their lives because they're on their own OR solo cops with a "cowboy attitude" thinking they can literally get away with
murder.
Here, cops always patrol in pairs & also have "paddy wagons" with up to 4 officers patrolling the same streets usually within 10 minutes of eachother.
Before any violence can quickly escalate there's usually a minimum of 4 officers already at the scene.
With that many cops at the scene, it kinda eliminates one cop going rogue or automatically pulling out their firearm.
In London, there was recently a guy having a psychotic fit in public. He'd armed himself with a carving knife & was pacing up & down the street, muttering to himself. Two cops arrived on the scene & rather than using physical force, they kept a safe distance from the guy & kept him occupied waiting for the riot squad to arrive.
About 15 officers arrived in the scene wearing riot gear & carrying perspex shields. They simply surrounded the guy wielding a knife & restrained him in a wall of shields before disarming him. A non-violent ending to a situation that could've ended worse for either parties involved.

Great idea for criminal organisations.
Once they realise black neighbourhoods are police no-go zones, they can establish their drug labs, car re-birthing chop shops & illegal brothels knowing full well the cops won't bother them.
