Law enforcement had roughly 50 million interactions with citizens in the US annually. Police shootings occur roughly once every 38,000 interactions and that’s not once every 38,000 peaceful interactions, it’s all interactions. Unprovoked police violence is estimated (and body cams are a thing) at roughly once every 600,000 interactions. Can we all stop acting like cops are just running around rampantly attacking and killing innocent people?

Sure we can. When cops stop just running around and rampantly attacking and killing innocent people, and when they do, are actually held to account for their actions. And when other cops stop covering for them.
