You realize the US has 1500 cites over 25,000 and another 1500 from 10,000 to 25,000.
With a population of 320,000,000 then your odds are 1 out of 320,000.
You might then look at the number of dangerous armed criminals we have in the US.
You might consider it is the police job description to apprehend these armed criminals.
Don't you see how small that 1,000 actually is?
A responsible citizen need not have any fear of being shot by the police. It is an irrational fear.
You are simply creating a major problem when all we really have are rare instances when things go wrong.
Edit: 1 in 320,000 is your yearly odds. On any given day, your odds are 1 in 116,800,000
An on-duty police officer shoots and kills about 1,000 people each year in the United States,

I dream of the United Citystates of Earth, where each Citystate has a standardized border such as one whole degree of Latitude by one whole degree of Longitude.
