It literally is a rare event. It may not seem that way when media everywhere you look (especially social media) repeats the same events over and over, but it literally is a rare event.

"Rare event", for incredibly incorrect definitions of "rare".

Every time I look there is a new obscene event. Just ten days ago, a Latino man was shot in Philadelphia for running at an officer with a knife. Body cam footage revealed the man was still sitting in his car when an officer pulled a firearm and shot him.

The fact that this happens incredibly more commonly in the US than any other and you so zealously defend them despite the incredibly obvious and available evidence is moronic at best.
