Any number doesn’t mean anything unless you know a breakdown of the circumstances behind the numbers. Of more interest to law-abiding folks re how many shot by accident, how many shot defending house against perceived home invasion, how many shot for minor incident, how many shot under color of law situation....

While the bulk of those killed from August 2014 to August 2015 where white, black people per population were more than twice as likely to be killed by cops....
When the numbers don't make your case, use percentages (or vice-verse)

How many blacks have killed blacks in Chicago this year.

They need to ratchet that number UP! Meet the quotas!

320 million citizens (actually 280 million citizens, 40 million illegals) and 1,000 interact with cops in such a ways as to invite their own deaths. Dont tell me these are unjustified killings.
Really? Only 40 million illegals? That's really lowballing it. When I go to the mall now, all I hear is Spanish being spoken.

If those “1083 Americans” are anything like Micheal Brown then I say good riddance.

Police Have Killed at Least 1,083 Americans Since Michael Brown's Death More accurately, "Police have killed at least 1,083 people, mostly criminals who badly needed killing, but who also happened to have been Americans."
See, it doesn't sound so bad when you state the situation more accurately.

Lets add a bit of TRUTH to that....a black teenager who was TRYING TO TAKE THE POLICEMANS GUN BY REACHING IN HIS CAR....
Let's make it more accurate still.
A 300 lb monster hopped up on drugs and inclined to violence having just committed a felony, and who punched the officer in the face and tried to take his gun.
Michael Brown is one of those "Americans" that very badly needed killing.

I am calling BS on that number. Reality is probably closer to half that number. With 708 so far this year we are trending toward about 940 for the year.

I figured FBI stats would have been good enough starting point. I did my part. You can do a bit of lifting too. Good for the character.
