But when the police get physical — with kicks, neck holds, punches, shoves, takedowns, Mace, Tasers or other forms of muscle — nearly 60 percent of the time the person subject to that force is black. And that is according to <a href="http://opendata.minneapolismn.gov/datasets/police-use-of-force" rel="nofollow">the city's own figures</a>."<br /><br />Since 2005:<br /><br />There have been <b>more than 13,000 deadly police shootings in the U.S.</b>, according to the Police Integrity Research Group at Bowling Green State University.<br /><br />Only <b>106 officers have been charged with murder or manslaughter</b>, according to Criminal Justice Professor Philip Stinson. That's 0.8%.<br /><br />Only <b>5 non-federal law enforcement officers were convicted of murder in an on-duty shooting and not had the conviction later overturned</b>, according to the Henry A. Wallace Police Crime Database. That's roughly 0.04% of total shootings - or 1 in every 2,600 killings.allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673233312198832937noreply@blogger.com
