Thread Name: USA, Black Lives Lost in Police Actions
Subject: RE: Another Black Man Shot by Cop
Wall Street Journal analysis finds that HUNDREDS of homicides by law enforcement agencies in the U.S. between 2007 and 2012 are not included in FBI records, WSJ's Rob Barry reports... and (duh!), what's the racial breakdown, one wonders?!?!?!

OK. Numbers. Assume that "hundreds" means "200", at a minimum...
divided by the max of 6t years this report covers
(depending on precise start and end dates).
200/6 = an average of AT LEAST 33 lives LOST per YEAR....
"The reports to the FBI are part of its uniform crime reporting program. Local law-enforcement agencies aren't required to participate."
