No its not, the article states that FBI measure only some of the police shootings and 461 and the number of about 100 is an extrapolation based on best evidence.

Its an approximation not blatantly false.

You also need to understand rates per 100,000 people before you start making proclamations over stats being right or wrong.

False again, the article given just says its journalists estimates, and no studies or information futher was given and any killings will be higher in large cities than other places and loads of information was lacking to give a claim like that. There would no way to give an honest assessment without stating cities, states, etc.. and just lumping them altogether. Especially in this country.

Lastly he tried to tie perhaps fishing job in alaska where there there are many fewer people to perhaps the police killed in a large city where there are many people, then tried to tie all that to fatal police shootings without demographics - and without being to able to accurately report that, if like he later backtracked and said, not all places report to the fbi, which makes his low number in his chart suspect tpo and how many cops get killed has nothing to do with how many criminals cops stop.

The whole thing is disingenuous and unless he had a desperate extreme libbie professor, he would have failed that on a paper big time.

Angel, did you even bother to read the OP article I linked to? It uses the fivethirtyeight article as its source for the "over 1,000" claim, as you would've learned had you bothered to click on it. And then you give me negative rep for educating you on your misunderstandings? That fivethirtyeight article goes in depth on how it derived the number. Is there a method used within that article you think is wrong or provides a bad estimate? Your silly assertions are not convincing.
