The Guardian‘s amazing year-long project, The Counted, is tracking and examining the number of people killed by police and other law enforcement agencies in the United States during 2015. The reporters have made some interesting discoveries, and the series is well worth a read.
If you had to guess which American county has seen the most per-capita police killings this year, would you say Los Angeles County where all those drugged out Left Coast freaks live, or Harris County, home to big, scary Houston, or Cook County, IL, and its violent (and toddlin’) Chicago?
Well, Tarrant County tops all three of them. This story focuses on the worst of the worst, Kern County, CA. A graphic in the story lists the counties in order of shootings, and Tarrant County is dangerously close to the top, along with Dallas County.
At least 1,097 people have been killed by U.S. police since January 1, 2015.
At least 1,108 were killed in 2014.
At least 2,973 have been killed since May 1, 2013.

Pigs are going to be Pigs….Peckerwoods are going to be Peckerwoods….what else can they be? Whose on first? Why do you think they are cops? Think maybe they like their work? Protect & Serve is not the way to bet, no way Jo’se. Most cops are a few clicks off target at the git-go of their reign and go down hill from day one…every cop, every time, some more than others, no exceptions, there you have it. Put them on your Prayer List, watch them like a hawk, believe nothing they say, verify everything. If you like Tea-Bagging butt-wipes, you will love Cops. God bless America and all our ships at sea.
You write that Tarrant and Dallas counties are “dangerously” close to the top, as if being higher on the list is an indictment against police departments. Has it occurred to you that there is more criminality in venues with more police killings? In San Bernardino there were recently two police killings of jihadists who tried to shoot it out with cops. These two killings move San Bernardino police upward on the list. Is that bad?
You’re full of crap as a Christmas turkey Stouty, and you know it. You’re stupid, yes, but not as ignorant as you present your argument. Grow up, you Tea-Bagging flakes embarass the greed-head Repugs to tears. You any kin to Donald Trump? Why do you hate America? You off food stamps yet?
Really substantive comment Benny.
What’s the deal Stouty? You’re clearly more bone-headed than George W. Bush Jr., bless your heart. You
I have read several comments by Benny. He cannot make a cogent argument for anything. All he can do is make childish schoolyard taunts.
Normal greed-head Repugs wish you Baggers would drop dead. You are a juvenile, dip-stick reflection on this sweet country . You’re hammer-headed half-wits. Have you no shame, truly…on the square….have you no shame? America is being laughed at by the entire world due to your childish, fifth-grade stupidity. Get on the net, read world news-papers. What do you mullets eat? To debate a fool is spitting into the wind, nothing to be gained. I don’t hate you Tea-Bagger flakes, I have little respect for fifth-grade fools though.
