If they were not recorded as homicides by the FBI, they apparently are not homicides.

The liberal mind never ceases to confound me.

One of the ways big city PDs show lower violent crime rates is to not report the crimes.

I suspect that the reason 18,000 agencies did not report any homicides by police is that very few of those 18,000 had any homicides.

IMO, the national database ought to record every homicide, justified or unjustified, and every police agency should be responsible for reporting all homicides in their jurisdiction.

You do run into deaths in restraints or from “restraining” that don’t get counted as homicides even when the restraints were contributing factors - the deaths still might get recorded as accident or illness or excited delerium or some such. We had one in NJ, excited delirium with fractured ribs and internal injuries. I hope to God that man was injured before he encountered the police but I wouldn’t bet on it.

Were they ‘bromicides’?

If they were not recorded as homicides they are apparently not dead.
