Police shooting deaths down in 2020


Despite the temper tantrums and protests/riots (sadly), did you know shooting deaths by police was actually DOWN in 2020? 864 people were shot and killed by police last year. 192 were black; which is the lowest number for black men shot and killed by police in at least 4 years:

You'd never know it listening to a "progressive" though. Apparently, we have an "epidemic" of police murdering people

you realize that in most countries the number killed by police is in double or even single digits?

You realize we're the 3rd largest country in the world and less than 1% isn't a lot of people? AND that of that less than 1%, at least 85% of those shootings are justified (and I'm being nice to your side).

yes, well aware. We are, for example, only 4x the size of Germany in population yet police in Germany killed 11 people in 2018 and 17 in 2019. In one year the police in the US kill more than police in Germany kill in 50

Just looked up the UK's stats and my god! They have a fifth the population of the US, yet in 2019 they had 3 police shooting fatalities. Freaking 3!!!
