In another thread, Dal argued that the US has a "deadly force problem" and cited these figures:
410, USA cops killed 410 people. Danes killed 11 in 11 years, Germans 8 in 2012, UK 0, Japan 0.
Unites States 410 deaths 102.00 guns per every 100 people - 310,000,000 guns (and anyone can buy a gun at any time)Denmark 11 deaths 12.00 guns per every 100 peopleJapan 0 deaths .06 guns per every 100 peopleUK 0 deaths 6.7 guns per every 100 peopleGermany 8 deaths 30.0 guns per every 100 peopleHow can one be against gun control on the one hand, but then complain that cops are too violent on the other? when going on a "robbery" call, which police force is more likely to encounter thieves with firearms, the police in Japan or the police in the US?Obviously there are many factors that impact violence in society and the listed countries above are very different BUT what stands out from those numbers? Don't cops in the USA face a more armed populace? Yes. Wouldn't you expect more gun violence in a country with a heavily armed populace? yes? Training may be an issue BUT that is like saying a flea is killing a zebra that has a lion on its back
