WHO FITS THE DEFINITION? A 2020–2025 BREAKDOWN
When people hear the word “terrorist,” they imagine foreign threats, radical groups, or extremists plotting major attacks. But look at the numbers inside the United States from 2020–2025, and a very different picture appears.
According to the best available data:
📌 Average deaths caused by police per year (U.S.):
➡️~800–1,100
📌 Average deaths caused by terrorism per year (U.S.):
➡️~0–5
That’s not a typo.
Police kill literally hundreds to over a thousand times more Americans each year than terrorists do. Even at the lowest estimate (600 per year), police still kill more Americans annually than every U.S. terrorist attack combined for the last decade.
Now look at the definition of terrorism used by the government itself:
“The unlawful use of force or violence to intimidate or coerce a civilian population.”
Compare that definition to the average American traffic stop, raid, arrest, or use-of-force incident.
Who regularly uses force?
Who uses intimidation?
Who kills far more civilians annually?
Who operates with special immunity from prosecution?
Who induces compliance through fear rather than consent?
The numbers don’t lie.
If a foreign group killed 1,000 Americans per year, the government would call it terrorism, declare an emergency, and mobilize every agency in existence.
But when the number comes from state actors, the system calls it “policy,” “procedure,” or “standard practice.”
The public is told to fear the threat that kills 0–5 people a year…
while ignoring the one that kills over a thousand.
This isn’t emotional commentary — it’s statistical reality.
And when the force used is not consent-based, not constitutional, and not accountable to the people… then by definition, it matches the very behavior the government labels as “terrorism” everywhere else.
The question isn’t whether Americans are being terrorized.
The question is by whom.
