You keep putting out phony ass numbers to say its not that bad. OF course it isnt for you since you'll never be in the crosshairs. Its all good!
The numbers aren't phony. We've been through this.
Last year cops shot and killed about 1000 people. For argument sake...since you all say it....let's say double that happened and weren't reported (not true but yall claim it) so we'll say 2000.
Of those 2000....for argument....let's say half were NOT justified. A crazy high number.....more likely that 95% were clearly justified but let's just say it.
So....let's say 1,000 unjustified shootings. That would be what % of 1,000,000 cops???? 0.1%.
So even when I grossly inflate the numbers in favor of your side....it still isn't even close to 1%.
If cops committing bad shoots numbered in the 5-10% range....we'd have a horrible epidemic problem. It's not.
It's not 5%. It's not 1%. It's not 0.1%.
The REAL numbers??? Probably about 1100 or so shootings. Probably about 100 of those are "questionable" and of that 100....probably 15-20 are unjustified. Those 15-20 need to be arrested and charged as anyone else would be.
The % of cops who commit unjustified shootings is so tiny....it's hardly worth discussing.
But it sure does sell a lot of advertising space on media sites.

Nearly a thousand times this year, an American police officer has shot and killed a civilian.
When the people hired to protect their communities end up killing someone, they can be called heroes or criminals — a judgment that has never come more quickly or searingly than in this era of viral video, body cameras and dash cams. A single bullet fired at the adrenaline-charged apex of a chase can end a life, wreck a career, spark a riot, spike racial tensions and alter the politics of the nation.
In a year-long study, The Washington Post found that the kind of incidents that have ignited protests in many U.S. communities — most often, white police officers killing unarmed black men — represent less than 4 percent of fatal police shootings. Meanwhile, The Post found that the great majority of people who died at the hands of the police fit at least one of three categories: they were wielding weapons, they were suicidal or mentally troubled, or they ran when officers told them to halt.
The Post sought to compile a record of every fatal police shooting in the nation in 2015, something no government agency had done. The project began after a police officer shot and killed Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo., in August 2014, provoking several nights of fiery riots, weeks of protests and a national reckoning with the nexus of race, crime and police use of force.
Race remains the most volatile flash point in any accounting of police shootings. Although black men make up only 6 percent of the U.S. population, they account for 40 percent of the unarmed men shot to death by police this year, The Post’s database shows. In the majority of cases in which police shot and killed a person who had attacked someone with a weapon or brandished a gun, the person who was shot was white."
