A Columbus thug shot Andre Hill, who was wielding a phone at the time. Hill died later that day. Hill was black, so racism may have played a role in the thug's haste to shoot.

The killer did not activate his body camera, but it saved a video anyway. The chief of the department excoriated the killer for wildly disregarding rules, and fired him.

What can be done to prevent other thugs from killing other (usually black) men? Prosecuting the killer is called for, if his action included a crime. But that doesn't seem to teach thugs much of a lesson.

Is it possible to use empathy teach the other cops not to be thugs? They could meet with Hill's relatives, to listen to them and empathize with their loss. Then the department could show them how the killer's unacceptable handling of the situation was to blame for that loss.

Does anyone know whether this approach is effective?
