First , I would think you had to be able to prove wrongdoing by the government . Something this alleged widespread would have had to come from the very top. And we know who that is.
So , the answer to your query is "no" . Not just no , but hail (hell) to the no

There are 300,000,000 people in america and around 1000 are killed by police every year. Most of those are justified but let's include them anyway.
1000 divide by 300 million is .000003%
I know that one wrongful death is to many but I can think of a bunch of ways to die that are more likely to happen than death by cop.

So , you are saying that this stems from "on high" ? Because if you believe they were going against a tyrannical government the answer would yes. Recall , if all the alleged instances are true (and most have been proven in a court of law and the DOJ , you would have to believe that it would at least have to come from the DOJ if not higher up. That would be the tyrannical government . All I see are nutcases looking to further a false cause by committing murder. And that IS NOT justifiable by any reason .Period.

Excellent point which I have brought up in a number of different threads, this breaks down to about 3 shootings a day by police in a country of 300 million. As you have said most are justified ,gangs kill a significantly higher number of people every year.

This question is not about race. I provided evidence in the OP that both White and Black people are seen as the targets of police overreach.
The question is also not about Muslims or religion.
The question is about the Dallas shooting by snipers of law enforcement personnel as that relates to the feeling among many that our government has become tyrannical and that one aspect of that tyranny is the murder of citizens by police forces.
I'm very glad to have your input and responses in the thread, but please address the topic.
"The suspect said he was upset about Black Lives Matter," said Brown, who is black. "He said he was upset about the recent police shootings. The suspect said he was upset at white people. The suspect stated that he wanted to kill white people, especially white officers."
