“...A year ago today, a white police officer shot and killed a black teenager...”
Let’s add a bit of TRUTH to that....a black teenager who was TRYING TO TAKE THE POLICEMAN”S GUN BY REACHING IN HIS CAR....”
Now, matches what happened a bit better.

I am not buying the figure of over 1,000 in one year. That would be 19 per week. Seems like we would hear more about it, unless 18 per week are white.

So, less than .001% of arrests wind up as officer involved killings. That’s a darned good percentage, especially considering the attitude of a certain segment of the population toward police.

There are NOT 150-200 cops killed/year. Not in the U.S.A.
Line of Duty Deaths: 71
9/11 related illness: 3
Accidental: 2
Assault: 3
Automobile accident: 17
Fall: 1
Gunfire: 19
Gunfire (Accidental): 2
Heart attack: 11
Motorcycle accident: 2
Struck by vehicle: 4
Vehicle pursuit: 4
Vehicular assault: 3
This is the life THEY CHOSE, not pressed into service. They aren't dancing "Swan Lake".

Oh, those dastardly police.
Going out with guns drawn, waiting for innocent blacks who were just trying to buy a soda for their children whilst reading Winnie the Pooh books to them, only to have the pigs shoot them down in cold blood while yelling racist chants.
NOT!

The left lives for this. communism strives to increase class envy and looks for class struggle, leading ultimately to the ‘oppressed’ class rising up to overthrow the ‘oppressors’.

Police Have Killed at Least 1,083 Americans Since Michael Brown's Death "Americans", or residents i.e. criminal aliens, etc.? A breakdown would be very interesting.

Maybe the research company could provide the names, dates and location of those 1,053 police related shootings so we can verify.

I am calling BS on that number. Reality is probably closer to half that number. According to FBI statistics, you are correct. Yearly average 2009-2013 is 420, and I see no reason why this year would be different.

I have to question those numbers. I’ll bet at least half of them were illegal aliens. BS.
