or does that not count anymore?
on top of that, does nobody care that in those 'miniscule' instances, that the percentage of cops held accountable would be the same as the .000000031% stat you mentioned?

While I don't expect 100%, I do expect a reasonable percentage of loss. I find this number .00000031% acceptable.
Even my webhosting which boasts 99% uptime means that out of 1 year's time it will be down 3 days. For some people that's completely unacceptable, and they think that paying $15.99 entitles them to rant and rave every time that they get one of those 3 days. (So far this year my hosting has had about 24 hours of downtime.) Little did they realize when they signed up that it was what they were told.
People expect perfection from imperfect situatioins. Maybe that's what you expect our system to be, that cops are perfect and never abuse or make mistakes, that our politicians aren't corrupt or fail to do the things that we were promised in grade school textbooks.
