Can you also add all the times cops are abused and murdered on the job, trying to protect innocent people? Thanks.

In the same year, police officers shot 995 people to death [2]. [1] https://www.forbes.com/sites/niallmccarthy/2019/05/08/the-nu...

There are people I would much rather that money go to than me. I will upgrade the server now though

For sure. If there's any other kind of help you need, though, you should mention it. I'm sure there are a lot that would be happy to help. I think a lot of us are looking for an outlet for our (highly overlapping but not super widely available) skillset to contribute how we can.

I think also compiling a list of video and photos of the good police who are joining, supporting police - or protestors who are keeping police safe in certain circumstances - to counterbalance the abuse by reminding people of the humanity.

Actually, I would LOVE to see this information. My understanding is cops kill way more often than they are killed. But I'd love to stand corrected. My understanding is the thin blue line is a myth. The real terrors are the cops. But again I'd love to be wrong.

"In 2018, 55 law enforcement officers were feloniously killed and 51 were killed accidentally, for a total of 106 killed [in the line of duty] for the year." [1] In the same year, at least 992 people were killed by police [2]. I believe this only counts people shot to death. Cases were death was as a result of something other than shooting, e.g. strangling death of George Floyd, is not counted in this statistics. The…
