Hard numbers also show the actual numbers, you know. Hard numbers also allow comparisons to other countries. Such as Europe. German police (country of roughly 80 million people) shot and killed 501 people between 1952 and 2015. A total of 2492 shots have been fired at all in the same period of time.
The Washington Post had an article out last year. 385 people have been shot and killed by police in the first five months of 2015. Nationwide.

And it's still not an epidemic.
