First time ever clicking this thread (big mistake, I know) but in the last page or 2 I've seen this mentioned multiple times. This 14 number I assume is citizens that have died/been killed by police in custody or in the process of custody that weren't armed compared to the amount of officers that have been killed (I'm assuming while on duty or in the process of making an arrest or whatever)?
Quick question and sorry if its been asked and answered before or just ignore me completely: Does that 14 number (or the way they came about it) differentiate between whether the police knew, at the time, that the perp was armed or only found out after investigating? For example, say I have a gun in my glove compartment but I never bring it up or even mention it because of something or another and shit goes sideways with my police encounter and I'm killed (either rightly so or the cop fucked up), am I included in the number of armed people killed by the police even though my weapon was never a factor in my encounter with the police? Or if it was in my trunk and they only found it after doing an inventory search of my car after it was impounded by them?
