I was talking about unarmed people because we're specifically talking about people being shot just for not complying with orders they're not legally required to comply to. I didn't think about the possibility of people being shot and surviving, mainly because cops typically magdump people which seems to be reflected in the stats since the number only goes up by 19. In any case, I don't think the distinction is substantial to this discussion.

Edit: I'm not seeing 1141 anywhere, where did you get that number?

At the top of the page you linked, I think.

Ah I see, idk how I missed that. I think it's 12 months rolling, and in any case includes things like armed confrontations which is outside the scope of this discussion
