It is often a quadruple-digit number. Here's an example for 2016:

and 2019:

it seems you are not quite familiar with how the US police treats people.
- xyzelement 5y agoI am talking about number of unarmed people that are killed by police, which is what falls into the category of something to be concerned about. Your numbers munge everyone killed by the cops, which is stupid. "X pointed a gun at a cop so the cops shot him" does not translate into "cops are bad" in my mind.
