1 year agoDude it's is human life your are talking about. Every death that could've be prevented, is a death to much. 8000 dead People is a lot of death. Especally if you compare it to countries like Germany, GB or Sweden, where the number of fataly shot people isn't even in the hundreds in the same time frame.
According to whom? The officially reported figure lies between 5 & 15 fatal shots fired by police officers per year, with 15 being a sharp outlier.
The thread you are responding to talks about the track record of US police officer not the all around risks of being alive. So let's look at the track record of US police officer. A US police officer is 200x more likely to shoot somebody, then his German counter part (adjusted for population). How high would you put that number, before it is worth discussing to you? How many people have to die, that you are willing to discuss this issue?
