First, a clear way of gathering these stats. Meticulous stats kept and reported on a Fed website. Why? Because the truth is being hijacked by the race baiter among us. And BLM supporters believe it.
How many armed cops are there nationwide.
How many cops fired their gun at a perpetrator per year.
How many of each race were wounded
How many of each race were killed
How many of each race were unarmed
How many depts have tasers for how many officers
How many tasers were discharged
Can you think of other data?
The people would then be able to access data in one place that would contradict these false stats being bandied around.
Oh, and completely standardize the way stats are reported. Misrepresenting the numbers should be a Federal offense.
So stats might say...
800,000 armed law enforcement in 2016.
11,000 officers fired their weapon at a perpetrator representing 1.7% of LEOs.
yada yada yada You get the picture
No more misrepresentation of stats by the Sharptons, Jacksons, and politicians who shall remain nameless.
We can't fix a problem until we quantify it. IF there's a problem.
