a lot of atrocities against the Constitution have been wrought over a few thousand fatalities due to terrorists over the past couple of decades. this of course ignores the far more dangerous threats to life and limb of swimming pools, poisons, and cars, but also there is the relatively unexplored topic of innocents killed by police. there is an attempt by Wikipedia to compile lists of killings by officers in general, and sites like Innocent Down which documents individual killings, but nothing online that compiles actual charts and data documenting the year-by-year slaughter of innocent and non-threatening (though possibly guilty of something) people by policemen. my guess: far more than any other "terrorists" ever came close to killing.
