1800/yr, which makes my desktop hurt so much it goes into scientific mode with a e-6. So small a percentage it barely registers. Average homicides by year in the US for past five year is ~19,232. So murders by police account for about 9% of that. If our priority is stopping homicides, shouldn't we be going after the bigger fish?

Murders are so rare it doesn't matter. We need to focus on property crime. And assaults where people are injured but don't due right away.

In 2022, there were 21,156 reported cases of murder or non-negligent manslaughter in the United States so the cops are doing us a wonderful favor.
