How many people are lawfully killed by cops in the U.S."

Data on felons  lawfully killed by law enforcement officers by year.

Year	Total
2008	378
2009	414
2010	397
2011	404
2012	410

Of course, this data does not show how many are killed who are not felons and  /or who were killed unlawfully by officers.  Arguably Garner was not a felon.   I cannot easily find the data on race of persons lawfully killed.  However, as it is for homicides in general, black males are greatly overrepresented. (Anyone have this data?  Please put it  or a link in a Comments)  Caveat:  Law enforcement agency practices sometimes result in under-reporting.  I suspect the “real” figures are higher.  But who knows?There does not appear to be any reliable national data on these 2 categories.  Even wonder why certain types of data are not collected or published. (see posts directly above for more on these issues)
