Over 300 Americans Killed By Police enforcement this year

According to a Washington Post analysis, the 385 victims amount to more than two people getting killed a day by those who are supposed to protect and serve -- and unfortunately, officials say the count is incomplete. The Washington Post's statistics show that of those killed, almost 50% were White, while the other half were minorities and the age range of people killed the most was between 25 and 34. In all, the death ages range from 16 to 83. Dozens died while trying to flee police, and 1 in 6 of those killed were unarmed or carried a toy gun.

To put this into perspective, UK police have only killed 52 people within the past 100 years, according to The Free Thought Project. Share your thoughts about the absurd number of Americans killed this year by the cops below.

According to sources who reached out to ESPNLosAngeles.com's Ramona Shelburne, Brown's job was walking the plank looking out onto treacherous waters below after a more than disappointing 1-4 start to the Lakers season, which is the worst in the Western Conference. Two potential candidates are being offered the head coaching spot on an interim basis according to the source; assistant coach Bernie Bickerstaff or Chuck Person. Brown has to be stressed, but at the end of the day, anyone who knows basketball knows the deal. If the coach isn't helping the team produce winning results, then he has to go. The Lakers are sporting an incredibly expensive payroll as well which is just over $100 million as they have (on paper at least) a monstrous lineup of quality talent in Kobe Bryant (who is battling a foot injury), ...
