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.


Are you counting all LE deaths, i, e, accidents, heart attacks and other deaths or just counting LE killed by a criminal act.



None of the above. For someone who believes he is so much smarter than many others here. You don't comprehend what is written worth scheit


I asked a legitimate question. In order to have a stat you need data. In order to say one in 4000 you need data to get a stat...did you follow that?

What is the one in 4000 based on is all I asked.
