"In the USA in 2019, a total of 1003 people were shot and killed by police, in a population of 330 Million. Only 55 of those shot (5.5%) were unarmed, a rate of 0.17 per million and only 14 were black (1.4%). In comparison, in Calgary in 2016 and again in 2018, ~9 unarmed people were shot by city police, in a population of 1.4 million, a rate of 6.43 per million. IN CONCLUSION, AN UNARMED PERSON IS ~39 TIMES MORE LIKELY TO BE SHOT BY CALGARY COPS THAN BY POLICE IN THE USA. Calgary cops are equal opportunity killers – they shoot mostly unarmed white males, sometimes an unarmed woman or native. You don’t have a killer cop problem in the USA – we do!
