Some HAVE shot that many, but some of those shot were fleeing. There may be a case of a cop or two having had to hit 4 people, but I've found no documentation of such a thing.


But sir, while your data may be as good as it gets, it might be dated. New or increasing threats seem to have risen, or so it seems. Your thoughts for the present crazy times vs. the last 50 years of data ?


Other than the Rodney King Fiasco in LA, we haven’t seen riots, looting, and burning on this kind of scale in the last 50 years. All bets are off now.

Gonna get worse come Election Day. Especially when Trump wins.
