When we’re trying to do an Apples to Apples comparison, implying cops are more deadly than mass shooters, context is important.
Put a kid in front of a mass shooter, they’ll shoot them.
Put a kid in front of a cop, they’ll shoot them 0.00001% of the time (citation needed, feel free to do the math on total police encounters vs. shootings of children).
That’s bad, but to state or imply that they’re even close to as bad is ridiculous and makes people interested in police reform look ridiculous.
