Who is responsible for so many cops killing innocent people?

killed or murdered?

 

Its a simple google search "how many people killed by cops" - Here's a sample

http://fivethirtyeight.com/datalab/another-much-higher-count-of-police-homicides/ this one is about 1,100 a year

https://www.facebook.com/KilledByPolice This has 1,063 killed so far in 2014.

http://gawker.com/what-ive-learned-from-two-years-collecting-data-on-poli-1625472836 This one takes a look at the difficulties of quantifying the problem

http://www.innocentdown.org/ This one is a simple list of victims and does not provide a good total, but it links incidents to reports

All the counts are low as detailed in the sites. I'm being conservative limiting the death toll to 1,200.

And as a comparison, in 2011 (the most recent year I have data for all), cops in Austrailia killed a grand total of 6 people, German cops killed 6, UK cops killed 2, the FBI UCR (a gross undercount - the UCR does not track people killed by cops, the UCR number is a byproduct of its crime data collection) has 404 for US cops, even accounting for population the US far exceeds the other countries. As much trouble as the UK is having, last year (2013) UK cops killed ZERO people and only fired 3 bullets. US cops are clearly trigger happy.


Compare all the above numbers with the FBI count of 48 US cops killed feloniously in 2013. Its never been safer to be a cop, as teh FBI report states directly. Maybe thats because cops kill first and ask questions later, and they do that because they can get away with it.

 

Some of each

 

Their behaviour. Because they are part of hierarchy. Their emotions are raised by the pressure from top of 'pyramid', and by the military style 'police' training too, and also by the dark uniforms (which make them feel more powerful), which also raise emotional levels in the police officers.
So it's a chain-reaction of emotion inside the police forces, and all police officers slowly but surely start to behave more and more the same (training and people copycat their behaviours sooner when a higher emotional level exist)
Dominators or rulers fear the people, so they use tyranny to put pressure on society, and hope a majority starts to submit to them (some people submit, some resist, others do nothing), but the only way to stop it is by reducing emotional level in police officers (and rest of population too), by start explaning to them what happened to them (not all are agressive, but more will, the least agressive will be fired or for unknown reason lose their job)
A fight between rulers and the people will lead to a political war (and once again to a civil war), but if people start to move towards the bottom of the 'pyramid' nothing will happen. Emotions must start to ease in society aka hierarchy (but fourteen years of rising emotions are very hard to bring down to the old level)

 

Facebook and blogs arent reality. Please cite the number of police who committed murder. If you cant cite factual stats then you have lost.

 

They are two completely different things. Please give me the number of muders police committed last year. We are going to do some math and I am going to do it using your stats so there can be no argument. If you cant write the number down then you have just illustrated to yourself that you are wrong. As I said facebook.com is not a valid source nor are blogs

 

LOL, "lost"? And what is at stake in this little anonymous forum?

I see you didnt read the links or use google, which means you have a closed mind and no facts will sway you....or maybe you did read them and need a graceful way out because you cannot admit you were wrong?

 

Your integrity.

 

When the perpetrators are the judges, as in the case of the cops, from where are you to derive the information?

 

Anywhoo back in reality. Cops dont have a license to shoot innocent people. Contrary to leftist media hype there are virtually no cases of this happening. The epidemic Obama and sharpton have pulled off on the dumbest in our society is truly a site to behold.

 

Been there. Shot him.

 

The simple fact remains----------if you have committed a crime, and or you fight with the police you are NOT innocent!!!!
