lies, damned lies, and statistics

So, after this latest episode, it occured to me our guys and girls actually, as TV cops go, don't shoot people very often. It's a little surprising when they do.

And then I started thinking, they do some unsuspected things with that, as well.



I think the current body count leader is.... Elle.

Counting only fatal shootings (so, for example, Hotch shooting the unsub in the leg in "Compulsion" does not count.) my unscientific tally runs:

Morgan: 1/2 (Charm & Harm)
Hotch: 2 (The Tribe, A Real Rain)
Reid: 2 (LDSK, Revelation)
Elle: 2 1/2 (Extreme Agressor, Charm & Harm, Aftermath)

I might have missed a couple, though. But I think it's interesting that Captain America, our canon gunslinger, is barely keeping up....

No wonder Elle flipped out and left, haha.

JJ killed 3 dogs. Doesn't that count? lol

Poor doggies :(

Those poor dogs. Made savage by abuse, just like everybody else on that show....

Made savage by abuse

People who abuse their animals piss me off. If you don't want to care for them or treat them with love and respect then don't get any.

Yes.

I did animal rescue for a while, and...

...

Yeah.

These sort of notions are always fascinating! And the fact that Reid, the nerd of the group, is in top3, is rather interesting.

But when all current cop-type shows are being studied, it's obvious that Horatio from CSI: Miami wins by a mile. He's shot at least 10 people this season alone. Simply insane.

CM is a much more bring 'em back alive kind of show... they actually go to great lengths *not* to kill people.

Very true. And I think that's how it should be, too.
