Arrest the nut holding the sign...It will stop

I kinda think maybe cops should stop murdering unarmed Americans.

About 750k state and local sworn LE in the US, add in Federal LE, about 800k. 128 killed last year, including 44 shot. 987 people shot by police in 2017. 323.1 million people in the US per the Census Bureau. Normalized, .0055% to 2.98e10^-4% of each respective group shot and killed. Per the data compiled by the Washington Post, 213 of those shot were unarmed, not that armed or unarmed really matters without additional circumstances being in play, but the fact remains that police are in much more danger, and are shot and killed at a much higher rate than non-LE.

I kinda think more people should consider the numbers before buying into the leftwing media scam that police shootings are a problem in America. Considering all the thugs, organized crime, illegals, crazies, druggies, etc., police are showing remarkable restraint in the vast, vast majority of cases.

At the rate the cops are going we are going to start seeing these signs in more affluent white neighborhoods too.

I’ve said for two decades that there are only three types of people that become cops these days:
1. Those that will take any job they can get
2. Thugs - typically high school jocks that couldn’t find anything else and like the power it brings.
3. Young and ignorant that honestly think they can make a difference.

Number three will eventually get weeded out.
