and why are u referring to one type of killing thus completely misrepresenting data of overall police killing?

Good data is hard to obtain. I wish we'd have better, more granular data. However, even by adding all other encounters, the data suggests that there is no "police brutality epidemic". It is easy to mumble off some generalities, thinking about numbers and stats takes some effort.

"Since 2015, as far back as the Washington Post’s database goes, fatal police shootings of unarmed black people has decreased by 68%.

Since 2015, the number of assailants killed that were reported to be attacking one or more of the officers has stayed relatively flat, floating between 43% and 54%.

Even though the rate at which police officers are attacked in these fatal shootings has stayed flat, the rate at which they kill unarmed black people has decreased."

I am a die-hard, try-harder kind-of guy; it's right up my alley.
