The rest of the story is how many non cops are killing each other and innocent victims.
You can avoid being killed by police if you just honk at them.
Then, they'll only break your nose, and bash your teeth out with their gun.
And then you'll get your car searched by the other cops...
Look I’m not happy with the militarization of the cops, but the 102 vs the cop population doesn’t equate tot he 15k vs the criminal population very well in my mind. What’s the non-criminal shoot #?
I believe the cops are overaggressive and no longer “peace officers”, but... let’s look at the true facts.... this story is trying to tell an incorrect story.
“Meanwhile, in the same time period, Vocativ found nearly 1,500 incidents where people were killed by the police:”
Out of 320,869,715+ people? Not bad. It’s probably
going to get a lot worse though.
One birth every 8 seconds
One death every 13 seconds
One international migrant (net) every 33 seconds
Net gain of one person every 13 seconds
Visualizing How Many Cops Are Trashed by Free Republic Posters And How Many Freepers Are Sickened By These Black Panther Wannabees Pretending To Be Conservatives
That’s nice - hard to come to a truly fair assessment when the job will put the cops in front of the worst society has to offer by design. It’s pure numbers w/o any statistical data to explain how any of the killings happened on either side.
I’d like to see a similar graphic on cops killed by dogs vs. dogs killed by cops.
