Shot in her own home!

That means you have a 1 in 110,000,000 chance of being killed by a cop on any given day.

Yeah, I get it. I've even argued the same point before because personally I don't fear the police. What you're saying is statistically true (though I'm not 100% sure about the one in one hundred and ten million specifically).

But try telling that to the families of Micheal Brown, Dontre Hamilton, Eric Garner... so on and so forth.

I don't really know anyone who fears the police in that way, but it's not necessarily an irrational fear.

It's an internet furor.

I don't think the issue is how many people on average are killed by the police; killing people is sometimes necessary for the public good and (if we're honest) some waterheads are just begging to be killed.

This issue is when people are killed by police for no good reason.  Like, playing video games with your nephew, or being black, unarmed and running away.

Give us the number of people who are killed by the police for no good reason, please. Number per year. Remember that my number was "for all reasons", meaning your number will be a subset of mine. Minimalist can't post one such item per days as dearly as he would like to.
