It was hard to pull together the sources for this and correlate them. I spent a lot of time refinding table 14 in article foo, for example.

Doing it over again today I'd get a ton of mileage out of Hypothesis annotation.

Rate, per 100,000, 2000-2013.

Legal intervention/homicide, black males, rate per 100,000, year: 2013.

A very precise number! :-)

Correlate this with FIgure 4 in http://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/ph98.pdf

Correlates with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_killings_by_law_enforcement_officers_in_the_United_States,_February_2015

Correlate this with Table 14 in http://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/htus8008.pdf

One source of the oft-cited number: ~400 justifiable homicides per year in the US. Compare to https://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/crime-in-the-u.s/2013/crime-in-the-u.s.-2013/offenses-known-to-law-enforcement/expanded-homicide/expanded_homicide_data_table_14_justifiable_homicide_by_weapon_law_enforcement_2009-2013.xls.

Another source for the oft-cited number of ~400/year. Compare to https://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/crime-in-the-u.s/2012/crime-in-the-u.s.-2012/offenses-known-to-law-enforcement/expanded-homicide/expanded_homicide_data_table_14_justifiable_homicide_by_weapon_law_enforcement_2008-2012.xls.
