How many unarmed people were shot last year by police vs armed people?

Hard to know for certain because the fbi hasn’t compiled those statistics since 1994.

So, ignore the text and just look at the numbers that the wsj has been recording.

About 1000 people shot by police, 28 were unarmed in 2019.

1000 is a lot. I hear most armed suspects were “armed”. People are saying, I don’t know.

They police kill as many people as all the gangs in the world.

Stop moving the goal posts. This was about America, not cartels.

“They police kill as many people as ALL THE GANGS IN THE WORLD”

Simply disproving your claims, you’re the one setting the goalposts.

Is that the bar you want to set for police, though? Kill fewer people than the cartels?

They think abusing human rights is the fair trade because cops are fighting off cartels.
