Police in the USA are 13x more likely to commit homicide than male African Americans felonious criminals, and 3x more likely than male African Americans.

Now, how many of the police homicides were good homicides? Certainly some of them. And certainly some of them were manslaughter and some were murder. My problem is that without trials and the broken DA/Grand jury system, and with the hundreds of reports we are now seeing on video of police beating people in handcuffs, lying, dealing drugs, and killing people under dubious at best circumstances. I do not have confidence that bad police homicides are a small number.

Let's say that the police have a success rate of 90%, that would still make police more dangerous than the archetypical "black male criminal thug" that everyone is constantly alerted that we need to fear. The police would need a greater than 93% "good killing" rate to be slightly less dangerous than the icon of fear. I honestly doubt that the police are at 93%, and the burden of proof is on them, and no I do not have to give them the benefit of the doubt. In fact, I resent even being burdened with the doubt of their fidelity.

This is a long about, and numbers backed up way for me to say that, indeed the police are the single most dangerous group in the USA.

Here is a link to the spreadsheet where I compiled these numbers.
