You have to click the arrow on the right hand side to see the shootings per state. I have not done the math but I suspect it only takes a few shootings to move some of the lower population states further up the scale

California and Texas are significantly higher than NY

I think AZ can blame illegals and drugs.

Oklahoma may be just because everybody is cool with it.

How about the non-fatal shootings?

If the NYPD were just better shots they could improve their numbers, though.

OK I can believe. Those state line bars were rough when I lived on the border.

A lot of F'ed sheeot happens in AZ. There is a former police sniper that got more or less run out of his career because he had to shoot so many people. He now teaches and lectures about his sniper engagements. I think a couple of his shootings are on the internetz.

You'd never know it by reading the news here. Not that I read the Phoenix paper, which is a liberal hate rag, but I do pay attention to several other local news sources.

I guess it's not a major news story when cops bust another meth lab or coyote's house and kill the criminals inside.

Sometimes the only solution to stoping a meth head is to shoot them.

That's true. You really don't hear about this stuff at all. Certainly not from the media.

After so many it's no longer news; it's just another day in paradise.

You both know damn well, that monsoons, and blown over Palo Verde trees are more important than police shootings in this state!! Do you not watch the news!!
