    It's either 9 or 25 depending on how you count it. Far less than the number of Police killed, and far less than black on black crime.

    Statistically, you're less likely to be killed by the Police as an unarmed blackman in America, than you are to be killed if you are a Policeman, or stabbed to death in London.

    Black criminals in America think it's their human right not to be arrested and they should be allowed to reach in their car for anything that could be there. They should only be shot if they pull out a gun and shoot a couple of policemen.

    Sorry Archers but whilst that is true sometimes, the police have also been shooting whitey too.

    The police are shooting people who have been predominantly been resisting arrest and who have been behaving erratically and/or irrationally. The police are trigger happy because America is the most armed nation in the world and the police have a mindset of kill or be killed when presented with a felon who is resisting arrest and who well be armed themeselves.

    America has many issues that we don’t have in the uk, freely available guns being a big one. And it was less than 60 years ago that black people were officially treated as second class citizens with any that dared to step out of line risking a midnight lynching. Their police kill thousands of citizens of all colours every year.

    America’s ****ed. A 17 year old kid with an assault rifle drove 20 miles from a neighbouring town, to get involved. The police welcomed him and other armed Vigilantes. He shot 3 people, killing two.

    Meanwhile, the NRA contributed $42million to Trump’s election campaign, and millions to the campaign funds of various Senators.

    I don’t think the far left decrying the nuclear family is the problem here.

    2018 406
    2019 619

    The mass civil unrest on show in the USA right now is directly apportioned to the far left, or BLM if far left is so difficult for you and other lefties to digest.

    If America is ****ed then we (the West) all are so be careful what you wish for.

    Can only see Trump getting in and the Far Left having another tantrum.

    If the protesters want a civil war, they could do to reconsider their calls to defund the Police, given they're the first group they squeal for when people hit them back. I suspect the Police will have it in their minds when assessing their priorities. Hmm, we've limited resources, should I defend the rights of those that say I'm not needed, or those that support us?

    "Around 2015–2016, The Guardian newspaper ran its own database, The Counted, which tracked US killings by police and other law enforcement agencies including from gunshots, tasers, car accidents and custody deaths. In 2015 they counted 1,146 deaths and 1,093 deaths for 2016. "
    I read the link.
    "and other law enforcement agencies"
    "car accidents and custody deaths"
