Most fatal police shootings are justified. What we really need to look at is WRONGFUL police shootings vs hours of training.

Like this one, clearly a training issue.

Good luck teasing out justified vs. wrongful shootings. Most sites aggregating this data have an anti-police agenda. There's no attempt at evaluating the nuance of each circumstance.

I would say the fact that we so rarely find evidence of wrongful deaths like Kimberly Potter Case, the George Floyd case, etc. when the media has tremendous incentive to find wrongful death cases, is quite telling.
