The Late Michael Brown Shot and Killed Assaulting a Police Officer and Struggling to Wrest the Cop's Gun Away
How
RARE are Police shootings? In 2015, there were 10.8 million total arrests made
by Police in the U.S. and 965 people were fatally shot by Police. 564 of those
killed were armed with a gun, 281 were armed with another weapon, and 90 were
unarmed. “Unarmed blacks,” comprised 4% of the total number of fatal Police
shootings. As shown, most of those shot while unarmed were attacking Police,
like Michael Brown who tried to wrestle Officer Darren Wilson’s gun away. Some
others were shot while refusing to cease attacking a victim.
With
roughly 1,000 fatal shootings in appx 11 million arrests, that’s LESS than 0.001%
given that 1% amounts to 1,000 fatal shootings per 100,000 arrests. 0.01% = 1,000
fatal shootings per 1,000,000 arrests and 0.001% = 1,00 fatal shootings per
10,000,000 arrests.
