Police shot dead 1,738 people in five years

Over 60 per cent of about 1,800 people killed in gun-related incidents in the last five years were shot by police, a new report has revealed.

This means that you are more likely to be shot dead by a police officer than a robber. Thugs killed only 13.9 per cent (135) of the 1,873 victims between 2009 and last year, says the report by Independent Medico Legal unit (IMLU).
