Not exactly. We certainly hear local reports of such things, but every time an officer in Dallas discharges his weapon in pursuit of an assailant, or in Dayton, this does not ever generate international media attention. What I am saying is that tragedies in which innocent bystanders are killed tend to elicit such strong emotional responses that I believe also interferes with the accuracy of our perceptions of such instances, relative to "typical" police shootings.
