If 990 people died then yes, it is definitely happening on a daily basis... at a rate of more than 2/day.
I am not suggesting that this is happening at a greater frequency.
I think events are being filmed more frequently.
That does not change the fact that LEOs are supposed to protect and serve and when unarmed people die there should be a close examination of the reasons.
The officer who shot Philando Castile reportedly told his lawyer that the gun was the issue and not race but since many racial biases are subconscious... .
What is known is that Mr. Castile had a legal right to carry a concealed weapon.
I get that to you it seems like every LEO is being portrayed as trigger-happy without regard to the laws they are sworn to enforce.
I don't think that a National discussion to determine what can be done better/different is undermining the good that good policing does.
According to BLM and the media, African American males are being killed at twice the rate as whites, and to hear them preach their gospel, the majority of them are unarmed.
Cops are being portrayed as trigger happy racist bastards looking to shoot any African American they stop for whatever reason, hence the whole "black lives Matter" bullshit.
And the more they spout that bullshit, the more some black guy is going to take a gun and go hunting white cops.
Now, you can keep putting your head in the sand and keep telling people that it is because white cops are killing black men.
Now, I will give you that cops are to protect and serve. However, whether you want admit it or not, when this constant bullshit floods the media and people go out HUNTING cops out of some misguided notion that killing white cops will stop it, is not helping matters. It is making them worse.
The shoot first and then ask questions is a direct result of being in a NATIONAL environment when you have no clue as to who may or may not try to put a bullet in you. Combat troops are trained to asses and then act in any given situation, however, when you are in a combat zone where the enemy is not wearing a uniform, you have no clue as to whether that person approaching you is friendly or got a bomb strapped to them.
So, if they dont stop for whatever reason, you fucking shoot. I would rather make a mistake and wake up tomorrow than take the chance that person is not going to try and kill me or those around me.
And the cop hunting has cops feeling the same way and then you and those who are buying the bullshit are telling everyone the cops are wrong to be worried.
If you have not been on the sharp end, whether in the military or as a cop, then you have no clue as to what those people are thinking.
