Geraldo Rivera has a plan to end “urban police shootings” which he has given the catchy title of “Tasers not Tanks”:
Solving the Brown dilemma: Distribute Tasers, not Tanks to all urban cops via federal grants. Make Body Cameras mandatory for all urban cops

my brothers at Fox, including Sean agree, tasers not tanks.

It is the only short-term solution. Long-term strive mightily to fix what ails the urban family. In the meantime, tasers not tanks.

First of all, what’s with “urban”?

Geraldo really needs to define this as some of the higher profile police shootings of late have not been in “urban” settings.
And secondly, those aren’t “tanks” Geraldo:
@GeraldoRivera Stop w/fallacious use of the word. U KNOW damn well that isn't a "tank", U KNOW what a tank is. Why are u doing it? #ferguson

Finally, would his idea really work? Tweeps aren’t convinced:
@GeraldoRivera – don't grab for cops guns – "dilemma" solved.

@GeraldoRivera Why should the government get involved in local police matters with federal grants? Also, the body cameras could be broken.

We’ll end it with this, which we think we can all agree with:
