Both those denominators are waaaay off. Lightning doesn’t have the equal probability to strike everywhere and anywhere and I imagine there are relatively few people in the path of a lightning strike (grounded or near a ground) when there is a high probability for lightning… so if you’re going to use people as a denominator, it’s probably closer to 1 million.
Also, very few people stick around when the cops are coming after someone and the denominator should be people the cops are going after (arrests + stops + deaths from cops). In general, cops don’t just randomly start shooting people in their line of site…
