Is there a breakdown of how many are considered legitimate shootings versus how many are considered questionable.

I think there needs to be some context put out instead of blindly throwing a stat out there.

Is that stat right, because it seems light. not to make light of it, but that's 312 shootings a year in a country with over a quarter billion people in it? And statistically that doesn't make sense there were 1100 police shootings in the states in 2011. Your number seems low.
