You white racists think that just because you hit the disagree button that it means something. I don't GAF what you don't agree with. You are going to face the truth.
The 2019 Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study published in The Lancet estimated that from 1980-2018, a span of 38 years, that police in the United States killed 30,800 people.44 During the same time period the study estimated that 293,000 people worldwide were killed by police.45 The study found that despite the U.S. having only 4 percent of the global population, that American law enforcement was responsible for more than 13 percent of all police killings on planet earth.46 The per capita people apparently missed this one.
"The burden of police violence fatalities in the USA is known to fall disproportionately on Black, Indigenous, and Hispanic populations. Recent studies suggest that over the life course, about one in every 1000 Black men are killed by the police in the USA, making them 2.5 times more likely to be killed by police than White men. Black women are about 1.4 times more likely to be killed by police than are White women. Systemic and direct racism, manifested in laws and policies as well as personal implicit biases, result in Black, Indigenous, and Hispanic Americans being the targets of police violence."

"Vast numbers of the country's 17,000 police departments don't file fatal police shooting reports at all."
Police are given a couple options that are problematic relative to both the fourth and fourteenth amendments. Pretextual stops and qualified immunity. Both allow police way too much authority to restrict individual freedom and both allow police to conduct themselves in a manner that would be criminal if they were not in uniform. A pretextual stop is when police stop a person for a minor crime because they believe they have committed a more serious crime. As it pertains to race, this is where the belief in the inherent criminality of blacks turn into a problem when a white individual who has problems with racial bias is given employment in law enforcement. Pretextual stops such as what happened to Philando Castile have been done on millions of blacks, including me. The Report of the International Commission of Inquiry on Systemic Racist Police Violence against People of African Descent in the U.S. found that such stops are often the beginning of a process that leads to the use of deadly force by police against blacks in the United States.
"The Commissioners find that pretextual traffic stops are a common precursor to police killings and uses of excessive force against people of African descent. Indeed, 6 of the 44 cases heard by the Commissioners involved police use of deadly force during a traffic stop. This figure is consistent with national trends. According to a study conducted by National Public Radio, more than a quarter of the police killings in 2018 occurred during traffic stops. The use of force against civilians, however, is not commensurate with the level of risk confronted by law enforcement during stops. According to a study by legal scholar Jordan Woods, “the rate for a felonious killing of an officer during a routine traffic stop was only 1 in every 6.5 million stops.” Conversely, a report by ProPublica found that Black men were killed at a rate of 31.17 per every one million stops."
Time Out! Seems that we have a little problem here. The report points out that a police officer faces a potential murder 1 in every 6.5 million stops. I believe you have a better shot at winning the lottery than that. Yet police are killing people at routine stops because they claim they are in danger. Jordan Woods did a 10-year study of police stops and it is considered one of the most in depth that has been done. The findings were published in 2019 and is available at the Michigan Law Review repository website. Here are his words:
"To summarize, the findings do not support the dominant danger narrative surrounding routine traffic stops. Based on a conservative estimate, I found that the rate for a felonious killing of an officer during a routine traffic stop for a traffic violation was only 1 in every 6.5 million stops. The rate for an assault that results in serious injury to an officer was only 1 in every 361,111 stops. Finally, the rate for an assault (whether it results in officer injury or not) was only 1 in every 6,959 stops. Less conservative estimates suggest that these rates may be much lower. In addition, the vast majority (over 98%) of the evaluated cases in the study resulted in no or minor injuries to the officers. Further, only a very small percentage of cases (about 3%) involved violence against officers in which a gun or knife was used or found at the scene, and the overwhelming majority of those cases resulted in no or minor injuries to an officer. Less than 1% of the evaluated cases involved guns or knives and resulted in serious injury to or the felonious killing of an officer."
