What is the point in having a police department if your more likely to be shot by them than the actual criminals?

Whoa, there has been so much shooting between cops and people. But it's also the person fault to walk suspiciously towards the cop with hands covered with towel.

the guy was known to go for walks and carry a towel for sweat.

Is it me or cops are losing their minds lately , I'am not sure if I was dead before but for the first time on my life , I see a lot of fucked up things about cops those days , they keep screwing up . most of the time Black citizen involved (racist cops)

Are there statistics that shows how many people were killed by cops in america for the last years? Would be nice to compare it to criminal statistics, to homicide rate, deaths in road accidents, etc...

Even with body cams and cameras everywhere, I think this is still gonna keep happening. Unfortunately, no idea what the solution for this is.

what a criminals he do? and Why did they stop him in the first place??? i'm pray for his family

This is a problem with self-control, not the surveillance system. Cops that have a gun should have a better self-control and not panic. But being a cops is a stressful job and that makes self-control hard to do.

List of killings by law enforcement officers in the United States
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Listed below are lists of people killed by law enforcement in the United States, whether in the line of duty or not, and regardless of reason or method. Inclusion in the lists implies neither wrongdoing nor justification on the part of the person killed or the officer involved. The listing merely documents the occurrence of a death.

These lists are incomplete. Although Congress instructed the Attorney General in 1994 to compile and publish annual statistics on police use of excessive force, this was never carried out, and the FBI does not collect these data either.[1] The annual average number of justifiable homicides alone was previously estimated to be near 400.[2] Updated estimates from the Bureau of Justice Statistics released in 2015 estimate the number to be around 930 per year, or 1240 if assuming that nonreporting local agencies kill people at the same rate as reporting agencies.[3] The Washington Post tracked shootings (only) in 2015 and on May 30 reported a rate so far that would be equal to 937 shootings/year (385 as of that date).[4] The Guardian is also tracking killings in 2015 and counted 464 killed as of the end of May (rate of 1122/yr).

LOL, for all 20th century american police have killed less people than killing now in one month.

Definetely, there are too much people diying form police actions in America now. For example there were only 23 police victims in 2008.

2015 (288) 2014 (623) 2013 (336) 2012 (602) 2011 (166) 2010 (280) 2009 (62) 2008 (23)

Because they wanted to stop him. Because they can do this. they can kill people and getaway from this clean. None of that cops will face criminal charges after that. And many of them they just like to kill people for nothing and get paid for this, lol.

they didn't stop him. he tried to wave them down for assistance.

this is not the first time something like this has happened. there have been many reports of people reaching out to the police for help and the police shot the people asking for help.

It depends of society. Comparing USA and Great Britain shows us quite much difference in society. If you only take a look, GB police killed only SEVERAL criminals in one year, while in USA that number is accomplished in several SECONDS.

american police killed more people last year than british police did in the whole of last century

Lets fill this thread with videos of cop's shootings. =)))))))))))))

This is another one

Well... there are reasons for that. The American population is much higher than that of the United Kingdom, and the crime rate is also higher there. The United Kingdom does not have high-crime inner city areas (although there are indicaitons that ethnic gangs are about to create them in places such as London, Bradford and Oldham), and does not have to deal with porous borders.

US cops have already killed 500 people this year, the Guardian's got some interesting stats about it here:

Insane by any standards...

even allowing for population size and ethnics there's too wide a discrepancy, there's a big cultural difference, many american police expect to be treated like gods and all they need to say is "he wasn't complying with my orders" to get away with killing someone
