Killed by Police on Facebook has kept a running tally of as many corporate media reports of killings since May, 2013. All killings, never front-loading’ necessary or unnecessary’ opinions. But by their tally, which they know is necessarily incomplete, the numbers show that since Jan. 1 2014, as of today, police have killed 818 people in this nation.
Now let’s look at the figures from the ‘Officer Down Memorial Page, Remembering All of Law Enforcement’s Heroes’.
On their ‘Honoring Officers Killed in 2014’ page they list:
Gunfire (Accidental): 1 (Oopsie.)
Heart attack: 8
Motorcycle accident: 2
Struck by vehicle: 3
Vehicle pursuit: 2
Vehicular assault: 7 (What is that,, by the by? The site doesn’t say)
Included are sheriff deputies, state police, prison and jail security guards, border patrol, highway patrol, all military police, and even Forest Service (and I’d assume) BLM security police.
But even if all police deaths in the line of duty were counted, even the ones that seem to be only indirect caused by police ‘duties’, it still amounts to 818 people killed by police v. 79 police killed, leading a thinking person to wonder who’s more at risk by whom?
