Honest question, how many cops have been charged for manslaughter/murder while on the job in the last 10 years?


How would I know that off the top of my head? Do you expect such a local event to always be national news?

Why aren't there easily available statistics for this well-defined social function? I can get medical malpractice statistics very easily, why not law enforcement malpractice?


True not fair to ask off top of your head.

I did find one: https://abcnews.go.com/US/houston-police-officer-gerald-goin...


Meta: It's a solvable problem that something like Pacer isnt open. Running stats on the law and how it's applied could be easier.
