Interesting on the latest numbers on law enforcement encounters with citizens:

There are 250,000,000 annual citizen contacts w/ police in the USA. That’s +684,930 people who have interaction with police in America EVERY DAY. (DOJ)

1,100 contacts (per year) result in lethal force.
52% were white, 26% were black, 17% Hispanic, 5% other. (FBI)

0.00044% of total contacts result in death.

Most people probably don't get killed for being taxed when driving over the speed limit which is I'm sure 99% or more of the daily interaction people have with police.

Uhh ohh, statistics just punched another hole in the boat of those supporting lower speed limits on the highways...

What The Failed 55-MPH Speed Limit Law Tells Us About COVID Lockdowns

Fatalities were even more common in the past. In the early days of mass automobile use—i.e., the 1920s—auto fatalities per million vehicle miles traveled (VMT) were many times higher than they are now. In 1925, for instance, fatalities totaled 16.9 per million VMT. Twenty fifteen's rate was 1.2. In 1974, when the NMSL was passed, fatalities per million VMT were nearly triple what they are today, totaling 3.5.

On a per capita basis, fatalities were significantly higher in the past as well. In 1974, accident fatalities totaled 21.1 per 100,000 but were only 11.6 by 2015.

Was either example ok?
If the police officer is immediately arrested and charged with murder then the riots do not happen.
We the people are tired of our friends and family being murdered by law enforcement.

The criminals using this as an excuse to could not be doing so if the police had been held accountable leading up to this

Who do you know that has been “murdered by law enforcement”?
these riots were going to happen no matter what because of people coming from the outside of the city and the demographics of Minneapolis

My 1st cousin Todd was killed by Ky police on a no knock warrant because those stupid mother ****ers went to circle instead of lane. Killed because the police can’t read a map.

FWIW, every post like this one hurts my heart. Sometimes, we are our own worst enemy. Tracing our lineage back to the days of the Roman Centurion, through the years of the 'Shire Reef (and the origins of the Office of the Sheriff), and into the era of the "Bobbies", a key part of our oath has always been to defend the defenseless; serve the people who give us our authority; and protect life above all else. There is never a good excuse for an inexcusable death under our watch.

It really, really bothers me that in my own community, there are those who see me as a symbol of what killed Ahmaud Arbery...and not as one of those who stand firm that justice must be served here, regardless of past friendships or alliances.

there are many good officers like you.
The problem is the protection of the others who are not.
I believe that a much higher standard is required.

And an end to the no knock warrant.
