Interesting Study

By the left-wing Washington Post no less (but follow this link to the much safer Daily Caller):

• A new Washington Post analysis shows that in almost all fatal police shootings, police are totally justified. The report analyzed 800 fatal police shootings.
  
  “But only a small number of the shootings — roughly 5 percent — occurred under the kind of circumstances that raise doubt and draw public outcry, according to an analysis by The Washington Post. The vast majority of individuals shot and killed by police officers were… armed with guns and killed after attacking police officers or civilians or making other direct threats.”
  
  Only 5 percent raise doubt and concern, which does not mean the officers did anything wrong. Of those that raise doubt, police are almost never found guilty of any wrongdoing. Critics will say it’s because the system gives them special treatment, but it is still a telling data point.
  
  In 74 percent of fatal police shootings, police pulled the trigger only after the other person fired, brandished their gun, or attacked someone, the Post analysis points out.

Could police be better? Sure. Better training, more practice always makes a better officer. 95% isn't perfection, but what human endeavor is ever perfect? And that 5% isn't exclusively black people (or folks) getting shot.

95% certainly gives lie to the vast majority of #blm people, Sharpton, Louis, Jesse, Tarantino and all the race-baiters claiming the police are being oppressive and out-of-control. The facts don't support any of it.
