1,000 people die to police yearly while 1,000 cops die to accidents and people every decade. That means 1,000 cops die every decade while 10k people die to cops every decade. Abolish the police.

Hello! I calculated the math to put the age old well cops die to people more than cops kill people or cops have the most dangerous job. So enjoy.

funny thing is cops are not killed by people mostly.

Ima do the math for u all. Im taking 2019 so as we can see the only deaths by other humans are shot stabbed strangled and beaten and the number comes out to be 53 in 2019. Deaths not caused by humans such as car crashes and diseases etc come out to be 81. Thats 60% of cop deaths to be not from another human.

Lets take a whole decade worth of deaths. 1,053 were killed by accident the entire decade. while 573 were killed by people. 64% were killed by accident. A lot of cops die by illness mainly heart disease and obesity. or by accident through cars trains drowning etc.

Compare that to how many people cops kill who are unarmed. Lets do data.

This maps out police violence and can tell you if the arrested held a weapon his race or age or their gender. 1,089 people were killed by cops in 2019 Thats more people killed by cops in 1 year than in 1 decade. 28% of black ppl were killed by cops despite being 13%. 290 people killed by cops were unarmed in 2019. Thats a quarter of people killed by cops yearly. In 1 year. And carrying a knife also counts as being armed. You shouldnt gun down a dude holding a knife. disarm the dude first. Like aikido is a martial art made to disarm knife wielders and tazers exist.

That site goes into the rates of deaths too so check it out. Also this is just on deaths not the beatings or falsely incarcerations which add to police brutality. People can live after being brutalized. Rodney king is an example of this.

TLDR COPS KILL PEOPLE MORE THAN PEOPLE KILL COPS. 1,000 people die yearly to cops while 1,000 cops die every decade by disease and accidents mostly. Dont get it twisted. Use this to coax people who still lick boots of cops to be anti police. The math adds up.

ABOLISH ICE, THE POLICE, AND THE BOURGEOISIE STATE
