After you factor out inner city/drug related homicides with guns and suicides we have 2200 gun homicides a year in the US. It's also a figure that has been coming down from it's unusual peak around 1994. The police are responsible for about 9% of the 2200.
About 500 shootings are considered mass-murders.
I think we have 37000 deaths a year by car. Something like 20,000 suicides. That last number is worrisome and I wonder how many murder suicides we have. The mass shootings are also almost always suicides.
That suicide number concerns me. Not sure if it's any of my business though.
So suicide and inner city/drug/poverty related violence are bandwagons that I would jump onto. Along with the police shooting thingy I guess. Way too much stupid when it's comes to the police.
