Statistics might be a good starting point but they are one dimensional (justifiable murder or not) and are bias (who determines that). There are circumstances where it's justified but it sure as shit isn't 99.9%. People's are upset because cops killed a kid during a situation which at a glance does not appear to be life or death.
Cops are human. They have bias, corrupted motives, adrenaline, fear, poor training, etc. No one wants to see someone in jail for an accident on the job. Mixed feeling on how it should be handled or prevented.
None the less someone's kid is dead.
To write is off as justified because it's a cop is bull shit.

Based on what?

A glance... A headline and periodical. No real details.

I would say at a Glace doesn't matter. The life and death determination is made by the person or officer who pulled the trigger. Sometime tough choices have to be made. I garentee that officer is far more upset about it then anyone on this sub. No one wants to be in that situation and those that end up there live with it forever.
You can disagree with facts all you want but the stats on shootings and police interactions being justified vs not being justified is 99.9% sry if you don't agree. Even the most manipulated stats are in the 90s if you don't agree look them up.
