A U.S. Citizen is 58 Times More Likely to be Killed by a Police Officer than a Terrorist


Most people have seen the number floating around social media that suggests that citizens are 8 times more likely to be killed by a police officer than a terrorist, but new data revisions suggest this number was dramatically underestimated.

The lack of accurate official records being kept in the important category of individuals killed by police was met with numerous efforts by citizens. One example, in particular, is Killed By Police - 2015. This site is used to more accurately track the number of people killed by cops yearly.

Previously, estimates of citizens killed by police were based on the self-reported data supplied by police departments, compiled into a yearly FBI uniform crime report for ?justifiable homicide? by officers.

This information drastically underrepresented the number of people being killed at hands of police officers thus giving an unclear perspective of what is actually transpiring on the streets of America.

New data, as reported by the Guardian, suggests that an average of 545 people killed by police went unaccounted for yearly on average in the FBI data.

The revised estimates put the annual number of people killed by cops at an average of 928 per year over the past eight years; a conservative estimate. This information contrasts with the 461 reported killed by police by the FBI for 2013, a difference of almost 450 killings or nearly 50 percent.

When looking at terrorism, the U.S. Department of State reports that only 16 non-military U.S. citizens were killed worldwide as a result of terrorism in 2013, the most recent year data there was available data.

Just saying that we shouldn't use Paris to justify a war, as more people die from being struck by lightning than from 'terror attacks'

I thought they were already at war with ISIS and it was already justified.

Pointing at the cop problem doesn't translate that way.

Interesting comparisons.









Obviously with such a high homicide rate, the police are scared and tend to shoot first and ask questions afterwards. Add to this citizens who are likely to start an argument with a policeman, and escalate a bad situation into a crisis. However.



33 US policemen were shot in the line of duty during 2015.

What does a criminal being shot have to do with the random violence of a terrorist?

I think they are trying to make the point that we have a larger problem here in the US than just terrorists but I agree I think its not fair to compare the 2

You mean like this scary 95 year old WW2 veteran?

World War II veteran, 95, died after police shot him with TASER and bean bag rounds for 'threatening care home staff with his CANE'

USA will always have the most as they have the most guns and with more gun related crime cops are going in with guns drawn and there's less tolerance, because they might have a gun.

If you 58 times more likely to be shot by a cop, your 58,000 times more likely to be shot by a Thug.

Rest of the world doesn't have these figures because we don't need to protect ourselves from Americans being American.

Does the US have more dogs?
Because the police are shooting more dogs in America too.

Come on now...that is just a typical "arrest" here in the states.

"To serve and protect" needs to be updated to "To intimidate and abuse" to reflex the NEW police force in the U-S-A...land of the free where every citizen is spied on and their emails and cellphone conversations are recorded (but we have freedom of speech)
