1. Everyone should see this

It's criminal

[Quixote1818]

2. And these are just what was taking to the extreme of someone dying. Think of the hundreds of

thousands who were harrassed by police for no good reason or ended up in jail because they didn't just bow down to the cop.

9. It sure isn't democracy at work

Time to unmask all those accepting and welcoming police brutality.

[Quixote1818]

16. It's interesting how some years didn't have that much and then suddenly the next year

the killings just take off like a rocket. What causes it to change like that?

17. Going to study it in more detail tonight

Sent it to several people. Looks like guns do kill (as if we didn't know)

3. Powerful...... And so fucking sad seeing the pictures pop up.

5. I googled a few of them just out of curiosity.

Yep, they are real people.

4. What % were armed and shooting at the Police would be helpful nt

[unblock]

8. If 99% were armed and shooting at police, our numbers would *still* be higher than the uk's

That's right. Multiply the uk's numbers by 5 to adjust for population, then multiply by 100 just in case your completely unsupported guess that suicide by cop is completely rampant here, and *still* you get to a smaller number than the actual death in the u.s.

11. No, it wouldn't.

This data is just to show the difference between two countries that not so long ago were one. It seems we have 5 times the population but nearly 1000 times the number of police killings. This data does not make any statement about the justification (or lack of).

6. Heartbreaking.

We are the shit hole country.

[Quixote1818]

7. Someone pointed out the video is exactly 8 minutes and 46 seconds long.

The guy making it is pretty clever.

[sheshe2]

12. Dayum.

I missed that.

Not one of them was able to ever breathe again after an encounter with our murderous 'law enforcement.'

[gollygee]

10. This is horrifying

So many deaths

[Hermit-The-Prog]

13. That's a quiet horror show.

14. When all you have is a hammer

Every problem looks like a nail.

15. terrifying.
