    First of all I’m a mister, not a ma’am. Second of all, it’s a place to start and I never claimed otherwise.

    Besides, accurate data is notoriously difficult to come by for many reasons including the fact that the main people who keep track of it are the same ones who conspire to cover as much of it up as possible.

    The article says roughly 3 unjustified homicides a day, but with all the cop cover ups it could be several times that, so “hundreds if not thousands every year” is about as accurate an estimation of the number of needless shootings as you’re likely to get from anywhere 🤷
