That is why we have 50% or more of the problems we have now with cop shootings to civilians.

937 fatal police shootings this year. 122 police officers killed in the same period. ~765,000 police officers out of a population of 315,000,000+.

Considering the utter lawlessness that prevails in our age, including literally millions of organized crime members coming over our borders, I'm frankly surprised that the number of fatal shootings is under 1000.

IMO, there is no "problem" with police shooting civilians -- sure there are individual cases that are unjustified, but on a whole the numbers just don't support the idea that we have a particular problem with trigger happy cops. Hyping up shootings as if the nation is laboring under a plague of police brutality is just another leftwing tactic to yet further divide us.
