The Washington Post also compiles a list of Americans shot dead by their police. The police hate speech host site, The Countered at The Guardian has some competition.

The Washington Post counts 788 police shot dead by police. The Counted counts 922 because it includes deaths in custody, Taser deaths and people collapsing after a struggle. The Countered even included one poor sod who was lost at night-time and accidentally run over by the police cruiser searching for him. He wasn’t on the run. He was just run over at night.

In common with The Counted, the Washington Post does not present the data on police shootings in the simple pie chart graphics to get a handle on how many times police shot armed criminals. That is why I am posting this pie chart today presenting this most basic information necessary for a balanced view.
Utopia, you are standing in it!
