Cops have killed 400 people in 2015, one every 7 hours and 30 minutes

[touchstone]

At this rate, if cop-murder was listed as an 'accidental cause of death' in statistics, it would rank as the number 6 cause of accidental death in the USA after choking and before all other firearm related accidents.

None of the stats show what actually happened - welcome to P&N.

 

[Genx87]

Those numbers are low because not every department reports when a person is killed or shot by their cops.

Yup. They DEFINITELY shouldn't have shot those 2 in Texas the other day over those cartoons... No no no, shooting bhaaad!

Toolbag.

 

[Vdubchaos]

That's actually a low number. I know for fact there is more idiots out there that need to be shot.

Also, whoever did this, their math really sucks. I'm getting 1 dead every 21 hours, not 7.

You should be more concerned about our politicians sending young men into harms way for BS wars that we can't even afford.

Lol yeah, my math sucks. Do you understand the concept of division? 400 in 4 months = 1200 in one year doofus.

That wasn't a cop that was a security guard, and therefore wouldn't be counted in these statistics. Care to find another example of somebody who deserves to be summarily executed and was?



Seriously you should worry about cop attack more than you worry about shark attacks or any kind attacks. They are the same sort of wild animal that just attacks and kills without reason, and much like wild animals they cannot be indicted.

I have never said that.

I even support gun rights and self defense (legit self defense, not that baiting and killing crap some of the cowards on here get wet over).

So, none of what you are bitching about, towards me, applies.

Looks like you are the toolbag - and a raging moron.

A security guard in the patrol car was wounded in the leg. Police killed the attackers, identified as Phoenix residents Elton Simpson, 30, and Nadir Soofi, 34.

Your move toolbag.

Calm down broceritops. I was using your post to AGREE. It was against the OP, but using your post as an agreeing reference.

It was reported early on in the news (TV) that he was shot by the security guard, I hadn't read the new story the cops had told everybody (that they shot him).



Also changes nothing, just because these two idiots attacked other idiots we should all have to worry about random undeserved murder?

Completely unnecessary since ghetto residents are already doing a fine job of kiling each other, no need for the police to supplement them. Just stand back and let the existing free market handle the murders, no need for the government to subsidize it.

Look at the company this puts you in, and think on your sins.

By my math it's 3009 hours as of 9 am ET. comes out to 7.5 with 400 deaths.

Nope.

You shitted all over yourself and are now trying to clean it up before we pick up the stench.

Newsflash: you always stink of feces, just leave it as is.

Wow. I don't know what to say other than laugh at how butt-hurt you are even when someone agree's with your comment.

How did I shit on myself?

You liberals are so cute together.

black on black violence is the real problem.

"I think there’s fear of intimidation, harassment being legitimized by the fact that there is a high rate of crime, especially among young black men," Williams said. "No. 1 cause of death, young black men 15 to 34 — murder. Who’s committing the murder? Not police. Other black men."

Killing doesn't equal murder.

 

[PokerGuy]

So, apparently we are to assume that every time someone gets shot and/or killed by a cop it's a bad thing? Those two scumbags in TX are a perfect example of good riddance.

Perhaps if the stats were presented (preferably by a source not comprised of idiots) to show shootings not considered appropriate, we could have an actual discussion about it. Otherwise, this is just a red cape for those too stupid to think things through.

I don't often agree with you two, but you both have nailed it.

 

[boomerang]

OK, so copcrisis.com gets its stats from killedbypolice.net.

Here is what killedbypolice.net listed as the latest cop "killings". At 1 AM two guys were struck and killed by a police car. Their car broke down in the southbound lanes of the freeway and they were struck as they entered the left lane of the northbound lanes on foot. I'm sure the OP feels the cop probably sped up, pumping his fist while yelling 4 points!

http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2015/05/06/nj-turnpike-pedestrians-killed-police-car/

A hyperbole filled post with a title already proved to be bullshit. What it takes for the OP to get a stiffie I guess.

 

[Rakehellion]

black on black violence is an irrelevant diversion.

Fixed.

It would be nice if every single police shooting nationally was logged/recorded with publicly viewable review and data in a single central database.

This is part of a big complicated web or problems dating back 300+ years. It is not a simple issue that will go away on its own.

Much too often these are being looked at as "lets punish the police officer who pulled the trigger" even though this almost certainly goes up the chain of command. Always the low ranking guys get thrown under the bus.

 

[fleshconsumed]

I find it funny when people try to defend these statistics. Here are a couple of links to put it into perspective:

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/...-than-in-the-entire-United-Kingdom-since-1900

Now, even if you don't trust dailykos, and to be honest, there are some very valid reasons to suspect that 52 number as accurate. But even if it's not, suppose it's twice as high, that is still a staggering disparity.

But, suppose you totally write off dailykos as total shills, here's another 528 link on the same subject:

http://fivethirtyeight.com/datalab/...t-two-years-without-fatally-shooting-someone/

You must be blind if you're still not convinced that we have a cop problem in the US.

Can't put one past you can they? Roflmfao. For whatever reason, original insightful comments like yours are highly entertaining for me.

Nice how you assume that they were ALL murder.

You are incapable of having a real discussion. Would you prefer that we have one cop killed every 7 hours and 30 minutes? The very nature of their job brings them in contact with the worst of the worst. Don't expect police to protect us without also protecting themselves.
