Or it could reasonably be

"Yeah, the integration tests failed 400 times, but, in all but one of them, the failure was indicative of an actual problem with the system".

1 out of 400 could easily mean the police use justified force almost all the time.

Of course then they probably wouldn't be firing investigators, but there you go.

I guess it depends on what counts as a "pass." I think that the state mortally wounding someone is always a failure. There are different severity levels, to be sure, but there's a reason that they're all investigated.

Even in the (in my estimation) relatively small fraction that are in fact truly, expressly legally justified, it's a failure on a different layer of the stack.
