And remember, there are 1,000,000 cops in the US and 3.3 people, on average, are shot by police every day. On any given day you have a 1/300,000 chance of being shot by a cop. That's unjustifed, justified, accidental, all causes.
Hard numbers, the cure to internet hysteria.
And even that's not how it really works. A random person has a 1/300,000 (assuming your numbers are right). Me, a white guy in a low crime area not doing anything risky probably has a 1 in 50,000,000 chance, or something absurd like that. Averages do not apply to individuals.
