“It is important to note that this number only includes the reported killings. Most police misconduct goes entirely unreported. For all anybody knows, the actual number could be anywhere between 2,000-3,000. At least 27% of the people killed by police were suffering from mental illness, and instead of getting the help they needed, they were exterminated. On the other hand, the number of police officers who were killed by gunfire has dropped dramatically — a nearly 15% reduction compared to previous years. It is therefore puzzling as to why cops and their mainstream media lapdogs continue to insist that there is a ‘War on Cops’ in America.”
