Not that national nor prevalent.
Still not acceptable but it is investigated and dealt with.

Like the one most recently dismissed where the cop said he wanted to kill the Black guy, and when the gun was found on the front seat of the car the only DNA on the gun was that of the cop?

Here are more statistics about police killing in the last 3 years . . .and the proportionally huge number of Black killed by police versus White:

Fatal Shootings by Police Officers on Track to Hit 1,000 for 3rd Year in a Row
Aric Jenkins
Jul 01, 2017
shot and killed 492 people throughout the first six months of this year, a tally that is nearly identical to the number of fatal shootings in the same period over the past two years.

Despite a drop in the number of unarmed people killed by police, the total number of killings is on track to near 1,000 deaths for the third year in a row, according to data compiled by the Washington Post. 2017's tally is so similar to last year's numbers, that the count was exactly the same on June 16, the report found.


Following a string of widely reported police shootings that led to the death of numerous black civilians in recent years, some police chiefs have vowed to take measures to reduce the number of violent encounters amid protests and calls for reform. But the data shows that little has changed.

"These numbers show us that officer-involved shootings are constant over time," Geoffrey Alpert, a University of South Carolina criminologist who has studied police use of force, told the Post. "Some places go up, some go down, but it’s averaging out. This is our society in the 21st century."

The data shows that police continue to fatally shoot white men armed with guns or other types of weapons the most, but that officers also shoot a disproportionate amount of black men, who account for nearly of quarter of the deaths despite making up just 6% of the U.S. population. Additionally, the report found that one in four people killed in 2017 were mentally ill.

Hmmm Time reporting 3x more than the guys who are trying to drum up support.
It's bad enough without gilding the lily.
Blacks are disproportionately represented in crimes so it's hardly surprising they get shot more.
 
NFL Just Got Catastrophic News About Ticket Sales

At an Alabama rally Friday night, President Donald J. Trump argued that NFL owners should release any team member who “disrespects our flag.”
Apparently, America agrees. Since the president called on team owners to take action — and those same owners, along with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, essentially thumbed their collective nose at him — ticket sales have plummeted.

Online ticket re-seller TickPick told Paul Bedard at the Washington Examiner that NFL sales for Week Four games dropped nearly 18 percent since prior to Trump’s statement. According to the Examiner, TickPick cited two numbers damning to the NFL’s response to Trump and the recent national anthem controversy:
  • 17.9 percent decrease in NFL orders this week compared to the previous week.
  • Last year the drop was 10.8 percent in orders on Monday & Tuesday following Week Three games.
Bedard referred to the sharp decline as the “Trump Effect.”

 
While they are referencing ticket resell ers it is troubling news as those investing in this will stop buying from the oiwners if there is no market.
Never a good idea to piss off your customers.

I know you missed the story since it is part of the real world, not your alt-world, but the NFL has been losing its audience for years. 18% last year, and it looks like 18% this year. This from 2014:
