    we’re not calculating how much more dangerous a cop is compared to a mass shooter.

    It showcases that Americans are more likely to be killed by a police officer than a mass shooter. and that police must change in a very fundamental way, from abolishing to defunding it and definitely disarm them from lethal weapons, and make it illegal for them to misuse force (criminal prosecution for assault with no police immunity)

      we’re not calculating how much more dangerous a cop is compared to a mass shooter.

      Then why, in your very next sentence, do you compare how dangerous a cop is to a mass shooter?

      I’m not saying you’re wrong at all, I’m saying the figures being used don’t support that assessment. They’re just numbers without any meaningful context to compare them with.

      How do you feel about doctors killing 50-100x as many Americans per year as cops do?

      Do you make the same calls to abolish medicine and hospitals?
