For those who could afford a bullet proof vest its all good, but how about business esbalishment upgrading or in some cases installing average cctv to cover their premises interior and exterior. Along with the businesses effort, the government could start with outfitting our red light intersections with cameras. These public cameras dont even need the expensive support of being wired to a police station, just safely secure to the lamp-poles in weather proof box and in events their footage is required, just go to it. No these cameras would not stop a person from being shot, but it would help law officials obtain the information needs to swiftly arrest and convict criminals.
