because there has been no national data base to track killer-cops shooting blacks,
but hopefully that is changing ...

IMHO that is just ONE of a number of changes that need to happen ASAP.
Some others are:
1) body cams on all cops, that they can't just turn off when they want to.
2) ALL police killings of unarmed citizens automatically require a Special Prosecutor
to handle the case (not local DA)
3) Additional training in how to "take down" an unarmed suspect without murdering .. ah, i mean killing, them.
4) Killer-cops do not get "paid administrative leave" for murdering .. ah I mean killing, citizens. Instead they either get a humiliating desk job (like taking out the trash) .. or Unpaid leave.. no more paid vacations for killer cops.

Of course they do. Iggo Dec 2014 #1
