US Police Have Killed 5,000 Americans Since 9/11 (Video)

Statistically speaking, Americans should be more fearful of the local cops than “terrorists.” 

Though Americans commonly believe law enforcement’s role in society is to protect them and ensure peace and stability within the community, the sad reality is that police departments are often more focused on enforcing laws, making arrests and issuing citations. As a result of this as well as an increase in militarized policing techniques, Americans are eight times more likely to be killed by a police officer than by a terrorist, estimates a Washington’s Blog report based on official statistical data. 

Though the U.S. government does not have a database collecting information about the total number of police involved shootings each year, it’s estimated that between 500 and 1,000 Americans are killed by police officers each year. Since 9/11, about 5,000 Americans have beenkilled by U.S. police officers, which is almost equivalent to the number of U.S. soldiers who have been killed in the line of duty in Iraq.

To me, cops are terrorists. Anytime they are around me in any form I become for lack of a better word, terrified. Not because Im doing anything wrong but because I think maybe they think I might be doing something wrong.  These statistics justify my feelings about the police.  So I try to avoid them at all costs.  Im sure im not the only one who feels this way either.  Does the government do anything about this?  No,and they won’t. The police will be given more high powered rifles, more APCs and more power to detain, beat, molest, and kill you and anyone you know. -Mort
