So apart from that Mrs Lincoln, how did you enjoy the play ?




Really ?

2014:
US police killed 1100 people
Canadian police killed 14 people
British police killed 1 person (same as in 2013 Btw)
German police killed 0 people (same as in 2013)
Icelandic police killed 0 people (infact they've only every killed 1 person ... EVER)
Chinese police killed 12 people (with a population 4.5 times larger than the USA)


Let that sink in. Law enforcement in the US killed 92 times more people than a country with nearly 1.4 billion people


"...from 2010 through 2014, there were 4 fatal police shootings in England, which has a population of about 52 million. By contrast, Albuquerque, N.M., with a population 1 percent the size of England’s, had 26 fatal police shootings in that same time period..."

Are you so sure all those 1100 people killed each of the last two years were such "scumbags" that they all deserved to die ?

Your stats say nothing about how many times the public encounters law enforcement. Nor do they say anything about the percentage of violent criminals. Also the criminal penalties in China are drastically more severe than the US. And comparing the US to other countries is idiotic.

1100 people killed out of 53.5 million police encounters means that you have a 0.0020% chance of getting killed by the cops. That percentage most like drops even lower if you don't resist arrest, don't try to assault the police officers, and leave your hands in plain view.

Most of those 1100 most likely tried to violently resist arrest, didn't drop their weapon when told to do so, in the process of trying to kill or harm others, or something else to warrant police shooting them. Most people shot by police are not George Floyd, Eric Gardner or Breonna Taylor.
