In a nation of 320 million, that’s a pretty small number. How many of those were committing a crime when they were killed?

Good question. Maybe an honest, ambitious, investigative reporter will do just that..

Since there are roughly 700,000 LEOs in the country I would say that’s not too bad.

That’s an incredibly small number.

I don’t think the sensationalist understand how they are undercutting their own argument.

Precisely! How many of those people were killed while in the process of committing a crime? How many of those people would have harmed someone else if the cops had not killed them?

In and of itself, this statement is just another publicity grabbing, misleading headline perpetrated on us by the media. It seeks to indict the cops FIRST with explanations later, maybe!

Its been a few years since cops killed someone in my county and in that case it was after he killed a rookie cop.

Like clockwork the morons blamed the police for pursuing him. After all the perp was just a peaceful man who didn’t really mean it when he was waving the shotgun around and threatening to kill his wife, neighbors, kids etc.

If anything I’m guessing police don’t shoot in situations that would justify it far more often than when they shoot in situations that don’t justify it. In the news, if it bleeds it leads.
