I'm not sure why I can't edit those posts any more...I can edit the recent one but not those. :scratch:
tulc(was under the impression we could edit any of our own posts whenever)

Sometimes I need to close out the page and reload it to be able to edit my posts. Worth trying if you haven't already.

You're not sure what I'm looking at? Look at the two of your posts that I posted...

Numbers 323+325 are the same incident. It's nice that you have faith in the Facebook page you're pulling this from...but how much checking could they possibly be doing if they posted the same incident twice in 3 incidents?

It also throws into question those incidents where the police won't initially name the victim...but do so later in another article after the family has been informed. Without personally combing over each of these cases...how can we know the info is accurate?

Why focus on 'police' killing others.

What about murder rates in Chicago this year or Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Washington, New Orleans, etc? All staggering! What about the violent crimes committed against police officers on the job or their murder rate this year? What about the massive number of Christians being murdered in the Middle East right now?! It's genocide!

Just questioning the motive of focusing on incidents with just police killing people. Does someone not like police?

What about doctors killing patients? What about vehicle accidents where someone is killed? What about people not stopping to help someone in need? Do these fall in the same category?

As Christians do we condone any killing of persons?

Bcause that's a subject I'm interested in.

Those are all things you can start threads about if that's what you want to discuss. They're not, however, what this thread is about.
tulc(will look forward to seeing JesusForAll's threads on those subjects)

I'm all for correcting mistakes....

My problem is that if they're doing all the correcting themselves, and they can accidentally post the same incident twice in 3 posts, I've got significant reason to doubt the accuracy of their data.

They made a mistake, who else is supposed to correct the mistake? :scratch:

and they can accidentally post the same incident twice in 3 posts, I've got significant reason to doubt the accuracy of their data
that's not really a problem for me. People make mistakes and as long as they correct it I'm not sure what more can be expected from them. Now if they made a mistake and didn't correct it that would be a problem for me. But if absolute perfection is what you require in your reporting sources I fear you're going to be pretty disappointed in every source you find. :sigh:

Last year The Guardian was keeping track of deaths by law enforcement officers but I cannot see where they are this year. There were almost 1,100.
As someone else posted it is surprising to me that there aren't more than that. It is sad and yes some were not necessary but most of them appear to be justified to me.
You can decide for yourselves. These are for 2015 and 2016.

They're US citizens, that would make their police US police. :wave:

Sure, they and their police are US citizens....but they have their own government, laws, legal system, etc. I don't think it should be counted.
