Because cops in America all fancy themselves the Punisher (don't even get me started on that) where everyone is out to get them and every one they shoot is one less bad guy on the street.
No incentive to change when they can get away with killing with impunity and fulfill their murder fantasies.
Asshole who shot this kid probably bragged to all his buddies about smoking a dude with a knife and got attaboys all around.

I refuse to even be near the police. Never let them catch or detain you. Never let them that close. It has been a lifetime game of keep away for me. Always leave. Never stick around. Don't talk to them. It's best that way.
