* Law enforcement made an estimated 11,302,102 arrests (including 480,360 for violent crimes and 1,559,284 for property crimes). * The highest number of arrests were for drug abuse violations (estimated at 1,501,043), larceny-theft (estimated at 1,231,580), and driving under the influence (estimated at 1,166,824). * There were an estimated 14,196 murders.
If we equate "killed by police" with "murder", this unsourced graphic appears to be claiming that something like 7% of all murders in the US were perpetrated by police officers. Numbers like that, I'm interested in seeing a source. Anybody got one?
