If you ever feel that strict policing is the way to go to ensure a safe society then you should look at what happens in the United States on a regular basis. The country has the highest funded police department with some precincts having more budget than that of the entire police department in a district in many developing countries. However, the police in the US not only regularly fail to stop mass shootings but also kill innocents.

A 13 year old boy was shot dead by the New York Police because the police suspected he was carrying a gun. The gun turned out to be a toy replica but the boy ended up losing his life and it has raised a lot of questions on the modus operandi of the police department.
The deceased teenager was a black person and it has also raised questions around any racial bias that the police officials had in the event. It is ridiculous to observe that the young boy was a suspect in a robbery and was trying to escape from the police. Was it necessary to shoot down a young kid who was a suspect for a mere robbery.
