F I X E D T H A T F O R ya piper cuz i knew readers would never get a viable cite(s) from you and the self serving numbers you posted. posting the number of rapes from a site which is in the business of emotionally biasing their position is just wrong.
i was unable to verify your claim of officer killing citizens because apparently from my read of the bureau of justice statistics site
http://www.bjs.gov/index.cfm?ty=pbdetail&iid=5260 they are playing with words as evidenced in their 25 page quality profile technical report
http://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/ardpdqp.pdf generated...wordsmith at its finest...doesn't provide one set of quantifiable numbers.
updated 150531 0951L: quote Although Congress instructed the Attorney General in 1994 to compile and publish annual statistics on police use of excessive force, this was never carried out, and the FBI does not collect these data either.[1] The annual average number of justifiable homicides alone was previously estimated to be near 400.[2] Updated estimates from the Bureau of Justice Statistics released in 2015
estimate the number to be around 930 per year, or
1240 if assuming that nonreporting local agencies kill people at the same rate as reporting agencies.[3] unquote.

Attempts or assaults to commit rape by force or threat of force are also included; however, statutory rape (without force) and other sex offenses are excluded.
