If a (very liberal) 10% of the deaths were unjustified, that would mean that you have a 1/10,000,000 chance of being unjustly killed by a cop, and 99% of those are after committing a crime, in order for the contact to be initiated. A law enforcement officers chance of being killed in the line of duty is 1/4000 (per year).

Let's face it. People like to make things up to further their own agenda and others are dumb enough to fall for it.


Sounds like you feel that one must expect a few losses in a big operation.
