You're 8 times as likely to be killed by a cop than a terrorist, but...

That was a waste of time.....

Studies show that people who publish studies are just as stupid as the people who believe said studies.....

If you dont act like a dumbass then your chances of being killed by a cop are 0%.

DALLASCRANE, correct. Thank you.

First, the article needs to clarify what the definition of a terrorist. Second, they need to compare the attacks with unjustified and accidental law enforcement shootings. I bet that will change the numbers a bit. Third, any group of numbers can be manipulated to tell the story one seeks. This article is poorly written and statistically unimportant.

Anyway, I want citizens to know that I am willing to kill to protect them and their families. More importantly I want violent criminals to think of me as terrorist, only following the U.S. Constitution not the Al-Qaida manifesto. I hope criminals have nightmares about being shot by police. I want criminals to worry each time they illegally possess a firearm that they may be killed if they any ting menacing. I want the law abiding citizens of America that death by cop is an option by killing a LEO is not.
