Right
And these people are often found unarmed and seen running away from the police officer(s) when shot dead.
US police kill 3-4 people, per day, in the USA.
Are you claiming all of these are justified homicides ?
Correct.
The USA incarcerates more people per head of population than any other country in the world.
Did Richard Phillips have a lawyer?
Correct, the Chinese government keeps its numbers down by murdering innocent people.
But back to the USA...which incarcerates more people per capita than China and whose police kill 97 times more people, per year.
Guessing he had a public defender at his original trial...and still got convicted.
Is your point that it was only because of tireless work by lawyers that he had his conviction overturned ? if that that damns the US justice system even more.

...snip..So why are US police so murderous ?
I'm sure you have a much more accurate source.
In answer to your question yes.
You might also want to compare US v Chinese incarceration rates per capita.
There ARE no accurate sources for such information regarding China.

Our Police are not trigger happy.
The problem and there are a few, are the culprits not complying. They don't pull over or if they do,speed racer B0t enables and speed off dragging the officer.
Another is the officers asked to drop it and they refuse. Now our officers are not mind readers and the culprit doesn't comply but raises his hand...what ya do ?
Here comes the so called " wrong way fear-4-thier-life factor " and the officers are forced to fire and it is unfortunate.
Like the President, cut our police a break.
Just how trigger happy are US police. How many times do we see a US policemen routinely kill someone ?
In 2015 US police killed 1,200 people
In the first 24 days on 2015, US police killed 59 people - whereas British police killed 54 people, in the previous 24 years
Killed By Police - 2018
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/jun/09/the-counted-police-killings-us-vs-other-countries
2014:
US police killed 1100 people
Canadian police killed 14 people
British police killed 1 person (same as in 2013 Btw)
German police killed 0 people (same as in 2013)
Icelandic police killed 0 people (infact they've only every killed 1 person ... EVER)
Chinese police killed 12 people (with a population 4.5 times larger than the USA)
Let that sink in. Law enforcement in the US killed 92 times more people than a country with nearly 1.4 billion people
"...from 2010 through 2014, there were 4 fatal police shootings in England, which has a population of about 52 million. By contrast, Albuquerque, N.M., with a population 1 percent the size of England’s, had 26 fatal police shootings in that same time period..."
Police in the US Kill Citizens at Over 70 Times the Rate of Other First-World Nations
So why are US police so murderous ?
Do the bad guys in those countries run around shooting at cops... no. Oh, I guess that answers your question.

So you're saying the USA has a gun violence problem ?
What is the solution ?

But this is happening day after day, year after year
So this "few" seem to be reproducing themselves fairly rapidly
Why are US police killing so many people, day after day ... why is their firearm the first thing they pull out.
Here's an example of what I mean:
British police confronted with a man wielding a machete. They get riot shields and batons and take him into custody where he can't hurt anyone and can get medical help:

Here's a US police response to a similar situation:
