Comment: I don't think that the list pushes a POV.  The top of each list specifically states that the list has no implication of wrong-doing and honestly looking through the list most of the killings look pretty reasonable to me.  I would argue that this list is not  as anytime that a law enforcement agent kills someone it generates a flurry of news coverage.  The items on the list might not be notable globally, but they are generally very locally notable and at least a few of them have led to long-standing coverage.  If you take for example in the List of killings by law enforcement officers in the United States, January 2013|January list there is a mention of a guy named Saylor.  His death has had long-standing repercussions in the community that I live in.  http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/ethan-saylors-legacy-frederick-co-sheriffs-deputies-learn-how-to-interact-with-disabled/2014/02/11/b0f48eca-92b1-11e3-b46a-5a3d0d2130da_story.html Every http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/no-criminal-charges-in-death-of-robert-saylor-frederick-man-with-down-syndrome/2013/03/22/3a723b6c-932f-11e2-8ea1-956c94b6b5b9_story.html few http://www.fredericknewspost.com/z/source/frederick_news_post/article_9ea31792-3748-11e3-80a9-001a4bcf6878.html months http://www.ndss.org/About-NDSS/Newsroom/News-Archive/An-Update-on-NDSS-Actions-in-Response-to-the-Death-of-Robert-Ethan-Saylor/ he appears http://www.wjla.com/articles/2014/01/following-robert-saylor-death-md-panel-begins-listening-tour-99335.html in a newspaper http://www.fredericknewspost.com/news/crime_and_justice/fundraising-effort-underway-for-saylor-documentary/article_dca793b6-f6d3-5cee-8167-3390ff400203.html around here.  People still talk about the incident and events are organised around preventing it from happening again.  While I don't know for sure whether or not every killing by a law enforcement officer generates the same reaction, I imagine that most generate a reasonable amount of long-standing buzz.  These events are relatively rare compared to other types of killings and I don't think they qualify as routine.  I would argue that each of them is at least notable enough to merit a sentence or two on a list even if not notable enough to get an entire article each of their own

Comment: Looking at one of the months, List of killings by law enforcement officers in the United States, November 2013|November, it just reads as a |news report of people who were killed. "Unidentified male" shot dead "Unnamed male" shot dead. All  local news coverage will list any of these events, and I see no real notability in compiling list after list of these articles.  There is scope to have a stand-alone article on one individual, if their death had a long-lasting impact, but these are just POV-pushing lists. You don't need to record every single death in list form on WP. I know that none of the sub-pages are tagged for deletion, but this can be used as a test-case for establishing if these articles should be included here. Unless the nominator wishes to add them all to make a group nomination, of course
