Can you post a link to that stat? I'm genuinely curios to see how much higher it is than the general populace. I'd be surprised if it's higher than soldiers, but it makes sense otherwise. As far as I know, cops are the only guys who have to engage violent people as part of their job. Everybody else is supposed to pass violent situations over to law enforcement.
Well there were 11,000 homicides in the US last year out if a population of 315,000,000 which is a rate of 34 per million
There are a million cops and they are responsible for approximately 1000 per year.
So general population is 34 oer million and cops are 1000 per million.

The cop has been cleared.
"Footage from the officer's body camera shows Officer Cruz repeatedly asked Dillon to show has hands. On the footage Taylor can be heard saying "Hah, fool."
"Officials say Taylor's blood alcohol level was .18 percent when he was shot"
"DA Gill said Taylor's Facebook posts show he was suicidal before the shooting...Taylor was wanted for felony arrest warrant at the time of the shooting"
So they knew he was intoxicated and acting irrationally, and took no measures to deal with the situation accordingly. Great.
I understand the suicidal part, and even the felony arrest. Does it say what he was wanted for?
To me this highlights the ineffective training in regard to people under the influence and with mental disabilities. I can see how it all went down just as well as you did but what I saw more than anything was a cop going for the last option first.
They didn't know he was intoxicated at the time, this was found out after the shooting. Intoxicated people can be just as dangerous as sober people, so what difference does it make?
It means they aren't in their right mind. And maybe you are right about them not knowing, but the likelihood is low considering they deal with intoxicated people all the time, enough to know the difference immediately. At a blood alcohol level of .18, the man's gait would be enough of an indication.

How can one not find it appalling that the police are responsible for almost 10% of the homicides in the US.

I wish more of the user base here were people with some background in law enforcement. It would be nice to see an excerpt from a training text book or something to show how cops are actually taught to handle these kind of situations. I've got an EMT book, but all it basically says is stay calm, remove yourself from the situation, and let law enforcement take over until it's safe.

1000 per mill does seem like it should be a lot smaller when you compare it too 34 per mill though. I hear the cops in Canada need 4 year degrees in something like psychology (I haven't confirmed this myself). Anybody want to do the math to compare Canada's police homicide rate to the US's?

That's not a good justification. If the cop shoots to wound he's obviously still focused on the guy, which means any retaliation should be obvious. It would take a split second to unload again. Regardless, you don't be a cop if you're scared of getting shot.

It does not justify killing the guy, taze, pep spray or beat the fuck out of him sure but not killing him.
I've mouthed off to a cop before, he'll I just did This last week, does that warrant being executed? Event if I had warrants

Like I indicated before, there are police forces where this isn't a problem because they are run by people who aren't afraid to stand up to the police union and fire bad cops, and has a culture that doesn't allow for the police to think that they are above the law. Like I said, my county has a population over a million and there have only been 9 times when the police have used their guns in the past decade.

The wiki page says 17 this year but it also says the page is incomplete, though it covers every death they can over the years and the list looks like less than 100. I heard once the average is like one a month. And te psychology degree isn't true as far as I know but they do psychology courses during training.

This webpage has a little table summarizing time spent on various topics in american police training at academies. The most time spent is 60 hours on firearms training. Next is 50 hours on health and fitness. 3rd is investigations at 45 hrs, and self defense at 44 hrs. Mediation skills/conflict management has 8 hrs.

I did a quick google, and it looks like the education requirements are similar for Canada and the US. Thanks for the correction. A curriculum comparison for their training would be cool if somebody can find one.

Because almost all of them are justifiable shooting of scumbags who are a danger to the civilian population. Chicago more than one actual murder per day. That is far more than the number of unjustified police killings NATIONWIDE

It was a NY Times invention when George Zimmerman shot the thug Trayvon Martin in self defense and they wanted to blame it on whitey and make it a race issue. Because that is what they do. All Hispanics are white unless they are mixed.
