176 Police Shootings of Civilians killed in 2015: An epidemic

http://thedemocraticdaily.com/2015/03/06/police-killings-continue-176-civilians-killed-police-2015/

One-hundred-seventy-six civilians were killed by police in January and February, according to news clippings collected by killedbypolice.net.
Of course, the greatest outrage of all is that no one really knows how many people are killed by police annually. FBI Director James B. Comey said last month, “You could tell me how many people, the absolute number, bought a book on Amazon. It’s ridiculous I can’t tell you how many people were shot by police in this country last week, last year, the last decade.”
Most people killed by police are not armed with a gun. Only a small fraction of perpetrators are killed during or after a gunfight.

 The numbers are crazy.  The vast number of people shot by police DO NOT HAVE A GUN and are not in a shoot out with Police.  The police now Shoot to Kill for 'I was afraid.'

Who gets shot?  Mentally Ill, petty thieves, robbers, car thieves:  Does a person deserve to die for yelling crazily in the street or stealing a car or taking some cigars from a store? - NO.

The people killed by police are generally not nice guys. They are deranged with mental problems, drug addicts, drunks, car thieves, shoplifters, vagrants, wife beaters–punks of all kinds and generally up to no good. But, they don’t deserve to die. - See more at: http://thedemocraticdaily.com/2015/03/06/police-killings-continue-176-civilians-killed-police-2015/#sthash.kPJWkL24.dpuf
