Comment on US police shootings 'grossly underreported'

Comments

So, 16% of those shot are unarmed, or armed with toys (that presumably resemble real weapons).

That's something that should be considered - more than 84% of people shot by cops are armed with lethal weapons. Knowledge of that statistic might sway you when considering a shoot / no-shoot reaction.

I think there are many problems at work here, and police brutality and militarization are just two of them.
