In 2008, state and local law enforcement agencies employed more than 1.1 million persons on a full-time basis, including about 765,000 sworn personnel (defined as those with general arrest powers). Agencies also employed approximately 100,000 part-time employees, including 44,000 sworn officers.
So.
1134 shootings. That’s a teeny percentage of police doing it.
And there’s real reasons why internal affairs and the system of policing the police don’t work.
3/4 of complaints about officers come from other officers. Not even the police can police the police.
