    we’re not calculating how much more dangerous a cop is compared to a mass shooter.

    Then why, in your very next sentence, do you compare how dangerous a cop is to a mass shooter?

    I’m not saying you’re wrong at all, I’m saying the figures being used don’t support that assessment. They’re just numbers without any meaningful context to compare them with.

      But, it’s true, Cops kill more people than mass shooters. not per individual.

      something must be done, ending qualified immunity is barely the beginning.

        Qualified immunity is only protection against civil litigation.
