About 750k state and local sworn LE in the US, add in Federal LE, about 800k. 128 killed last year, including 44 shot. 987 people shot by police in 2017. 323.1 million people in the US per the Census Bureau. Normalized, .0055% to 2.98e10^-4% of each respective group shot and killed. Per the data compiled by the Washington Post, 213 of those shot were unarmed, not that armed or unarmed really matters without additional circumstances being in play, but the fact remains that police are in much more danger, and are shot and killed at a much higher rate than non-LE.

I kinda think more people should consider the numbers before buying into the leftwing media scam that police shootings are a problem in America. Considering all the thugs, organized crime, illegals, crazies, druggies, etc., police are showing remarkable restraint in the vast, vast majority of cases.

They are problems for the families of the innocent people that police have murdered.

Dude, dont bother. That Drew guy hates cops more than BLM and the guy holding that sign, combined. Hell, that might even be him. There are about 5 of them on FR and they slander cops every chance they can. You wont change his mind with stats.

Please pay attention drew. People spit in the faces of NYPD officers all the time. They are not allowed to respond.
