As of yesterday, 630 people had been killed by police. So if you divide 630 by roughly 195 days so far this year you get 3.2 fatalities/day. I have no idea how many people they shoot and wound.
But it is far from uncommon.
And there are ~3,000,000 police in the US. So if you divide 630 by roughly 3,000,000 you get .021% of the police involved in police shootings.
FUCKING EPIDEMIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
