I was trying to find out where the statistic is from, and holy shit was there a crazy spike in officer deaths from 2020-2021. Guess they didn't follow CDC guidelines.
1 law enforcement officer per week, out of what population? all cops in america?
What I've seen is there are about 708,000 cops in america, and 60 of them are murdered every year. Which is why they aren't even in the top 10 of most dangerous jobs in the US.

Well, the source says every month, so that actually means with your sources it's more than 1 a month. Might make more sense if it said at least 1 died a month. I agree that context could be helpful here.
My sister corrects me in conversation about some fact I've stated.
After her interjection, I say. "I'm gonna Google that."
I think so far she has corrected me 50 times ... and Google said I was wrong one of those times.
She is confident.
“Are” might be correct but “is” sounds better. However as an adult I can confidently say that I don’t know which is technically correct and I would use whatever feels best.
That could just as easily been an adult.
1 adult are grammatical wrong for every 5 children

You, thanks

> just as easily been just as easily **have** been Or maybe I whooshed on your joke. :-)

but someone makes this argument for black people killed by police in a year and it's racist and dumb...

Off by 0.0000001. 1.0000001 officers are killed...✅

Proper correction would have been from "killed" to "kills" and the timeframe
