Check out some videos on some of the more graphic sites of them doing what they do best...and please do not compare the police to the terrorist..that's disgusting

Perhaps this is why you are more likely to die at the hands of a cop than a terrorist...
The REAL threat to America
Stop committing crimes, stop fighting with the police, comply with their orders, don't run, and you will not be shot, tased, or killed...
It's simple logic...

What's really sad about this is, you're 12,000 times more likely to die of Cancer. Yet how many more billions are spent on Military funding, security technology, black projects and phony wars on the premise of stopping terrorism than are spent on Cancer research? Is there any doubt the human race has completely lost it's way?

The numbers aren't lying, it doesn't matter if you are "disgusted," the fact remains you are more likely to die at the hands of a police officer than a terrorist.
Fact.

This is not a fact. The Fact would be certain people who live certain types of life styles would be more likely to be killed by a cop. Criminal actviity and/or heavy use of drugs or alcohol drugs resulting in violent behavior is going to greatly increase your chance of being killed by a cop. Terrorism on the other hand works because its target is random people whom are doing nothing other than going about their everyday life. That creates the fear. So saying he is more likely to die at the hands of cops is a fallacy unless you live a certain life style. Just like if you do not ride trains then your chance of dying in rail accident becomes almost zero. This "study" is just some idiot who took mortality data but, in no way shape or form does it use that data in any logical way. But lets not let common sense get in the way of whatever agenda you want to push.
