Sure it's tragic when some gets shot that doesn't deserve it but what's a reasonable amount? Anyone that says zero is living in a fantasy world.

There is no "reasonable" amount. Every case needs reaction, maybe not from the public, but at least the police has to enforce law within it's own troops and guilty folk sentenced normally.
Also, you counted it wrong. You shouldn't compare questionable shootings to the number of polices, instead you should compare it to the overal number of shootings. Even assuming that every police shoots one human per year, every year, which I doubt. So the number to compare is overall number of shootings.
