It's just "intentional line-of-duty" killings not every killing. It also states that there is a great deal of evidence to support the idea that incidents of this nature decrease after departments reach "critical mass" (enough black officers to have their voices heard).

Meaning that the only police killings which were left out were those deemed accidental (e.g. being run over during a police chase), or those committed by cops who were off-duty at the time. Seems fair.

"Thus, our data consider only intentional “line-of-duty” killings (even if the officer was off duty at the time of the incident)."

Yes. And the definition of "intentional line-of-duty killings" is the one I gave above.

The study literally says it considers killings from cops even while off duty at the time of incident. You said the exact opposite.

I forgot to add "and committing a crime" at the end.
