Where are the howls of protest from the forum's right wingers who condemn government intrusionism???? Perhaps if they knew more about police crimes they might possibly become more interested: http://filmingcops.com/2013/11/13/americans-killed-by-police/ Americans Killed by Cops Now Outnumber Americans Killed in Iraq War Cops have killed well over 5,000 Americans since 9/11. Many of these killings have occurred during no-knock raids, which have risen by 4000%. Iraqi insurgents have killed around 3,500 Americans in Iraq since 9/11 in Operation Iraqi Freedom. Afghan insurgents have killed around 2,000 Americans in Afghanistan since 9/11 in Operation Enduring Freedom. The police are getting paid with our money to go on shooting sprees and they are killing more of us than the terrorists from whom they protect us. In fact, you are eight times more likely to be killed by a cop than by a terrorist. Domestic violence is two-four times more common among police families than American families in general. As of 2010 the compared data lifted from Catos NPMSRP shows that the reports of police committing sexual assault amounted to more than 2 times the reports in the entire general population. If officer-involved killings were prosecuted as murder the murder rate for law enforcement officers would exceed the general population murder rate by at least 472%. And these are only the reported incidents. The vast majority of police misconduct and abuse is unreported. Who knows what the actual total is. Excerpt from compared data between Cato's NPMSR and the DOJURC. Excerpt from compared data between Catos NPMSR and the DOJs UCR for police homicide and sexual assault. While were at it, over a quarter of a billion human beings were killed by government last century alone, making government the leading cause of unnatural death in the 20th century. This doesnt include casualties from all the wars that governments started to protect us. The number of Americans in prison now exceeds the number of high school teachers and engineers. There are at least 7.3 million Americans locked in captivity or under federal control as you read this, the majority of whom are non-violent (for example, they were caught ingesting a plant that the government claims is illegal). One in 25 Americans were arrested as of 2011. The number is probably higher now. CATO IS A CONSERVATIVE ORGANIZATION.
