Also, an extremely important point to be aware of is: 'police shootings' do not refer to unjustified shootings but overall shootings. I can guarantee you that most of those shootings were justified.
Yes. I have no doubt that every year a number of unarmed civilians get killed in unjustified shootings by the policemen, but the vast majority were necessary. Whenever someone gets killed by the cops, the media goes ballistic. The news is pasted in the front page of all the major dailies. In many cases, the policemen are forced to do this, to defend themselves. But the media will never give this detail. Even if someone is shot dead by policemen while committing an armed robbery or hostage taking, the media will paint it in such a way, to put the blame on the cops.
Now there is another set of killings that will never find any place on the first page of the newspapers and tabloids. That is the deaths of policemen while they are on active duty. As per the latest stats from the FBI, 106 officers were killed while being on duty in 2018. The average age of the killed officers was 37 years. You will never find any protest rally or media campaign condemning these deaths.
