The stats INCLUDE shooting incidents by LEOs. Crap.
The statistics, if to have any TRUE (!) meaning should list FELONY shootings apart from LEO “incidents”.
Statistical studies have degenerated into a form of PROPAGANDA, utilized to drive home a very narrow point.
There are MORE shootings in some of our major (?) cities each weekend than in Afghanistan, yet beyond raw numbers nothing is reported.
We “should” be told..WHO did it..WHO is the target(s)..Why the shooting..Was a crime being committed that led to the shooting..Was a shooting a legitimate “self defensive” act?
No.. we get merely a casualty report and a bland statement by the local government promising to act and do...NOTHING.

My favorite quote on statistics:

The average human has one breast and one testicle.

England bombing Berlin at night looked a lot like Germany bombing London.

Both ended up looking a lot like Detriot, or just about any "democrat stronghold" in the US, though.

You know, when you think about it, the communists, by taking control of our unions and teachers, did to the US about as much damamge to some parts of the country as a nuclear was would have.
