Yes, and what percent of these killing are justified and/or in self defense? I'd wager the bulk. They have an inherently dangerous profession. Notice, I'm not saying it's ZERO either, but the risk is much lower than, say, black shootings.
- fnordfnordfnord 11y agoAccording to some, they're all justified. But that's of course ridiculous. * I'd wager that a good fraction of the justified ones ought not be. It's too difficult to prosecute bad actors here. * I'd also say that a good fraction of the justified ones weren't strictly necessary. Better tactics and technology could make an impact on this. >They have an inherently dangerous profession. True, but the danger is often overstated, and there are a couple of ways to cut their risk of harm. ex: Requiring the wearing of seat belts would dramatically cut their risk. >but the risk is much lower than, say, black shootings. I also doubt whether that's the case. Got a source?
