HRDAG estimates that 1 in 3 Americans murdered by a stranger are killed by a police officer. https://granta.com/violence-in-blue/ In Chicago, the police union has attempted to destroy complaint records and uses an arbitration clause to minimize impact of discipline and to keep information about sustained misconduct complaints under wraps, including other police departments considering hiring an officer (https://projects.propublica.org/graphics/il-grievances). (Full disclosure, I'm a co-author of the OP linked article and the article about CPD grievances.) |

Most people are murdered by someone they know, so we're looking at a pretty small slice of all murders.
And that stat is for homicides, not murder. So it includes people lawfully killed.
