New Study: For Every 1000 People Killed by Police, Only 1 Cop is Convicted of a Crime Read more at

[timslash]

A new study released by the Washington Post reveals that for every 1000 people killed at the hands of police, only one officer is convicted of a crime. Since 2005, although there have been thousands of fatal shootings by police officers, only 54 have been charged. Of those charged, most were cleared or acquitted.
New Study For Every 1000 People Killed by Police Only 1 Cop is Convicted of a Crime The Free Thought Project
This analysis is, to date, the most comprehensive of its kind. According to the Post:
No, really? Only one cop? Damn...
I agree with cops who kill thugs and other "antisocials" but when these cowards kill innocent people and only say "Sorry..."
I can't understand why they just can't plead guilty? Why they can't say truth and incur fair punishment?!

[timslash]

1 - Some of them died not from somebody's guns, but from their own driver skills, or bad lifestyle.
2 - Some of them are... khm... dogs
3 - And of course every cop killer is now in jail, look the stats.
You're trying to compare different things it's not argument!

I'm justifying their actions, but if you want an explanation, look at the number of cops that have died in just one year. It's a dangerous world out there, and they put their lives on the line every day to protect you and me.

These liberty-killing gendarmes do not protect me .... or you. The are protecting and serving a completely criminal body that is asset-stripping the US and foreign lands while they commit every crime under the sun.

Our cops today are not your father's cops ... or your grandfather's cops. The majority of cops today are evil bastards intent on maximizing their power while squashing individual liberties.
