Re: A collection of videos of police brutality
#53Can you also add all the times cops are abused and murdered on the job, trying to protect innocent people? Thanks.
I did some digging around for this info, and I think this is important. In 2018, 55 police officers were murdered in the line of duty [1]. In the same year, police officers shot 995 people to death [2].

#54How does the validation of the stories work ? I hope it will not end up as the next place to fuel unnecessary violence like in Toronto.

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.
It probably comes with any job that requires a gun.

#56Police brutality is a Bad Thing. There is also much lower hanging fruit in terms of saving lives and improving the world. About 1,000 people die in the US each year through encounters with the police. Over 400,000 people die in Africa each year from Malaria and we have very effective tools for combating it[1]. Police brutality is a big issue but the current media attention doesn't make "boring" causes less important or deadly.

#57The websites not loading, I assume because it’s #1 on HN right now. If you want help with server costs maybe setup a fund me/patron?
There are people I would much rather that money go to than me. I will upgrade the server now though

This is correct, being a police officer doesn't even make the top 20 as far as dangerous jobs go[0].
