America Is #1 in Police Killings Among Western Democracies

[Brian_1349]

Here is the data pere millions for the rest of the countries:

• Sweden: 13 people — .133 people
• Norway: 3 people — .060 people
• Finland: 2 people — .034 people
• Germany: 81 people — .089 people
• The Netherlands: 24 people — .137 people
• England/Wales: 25 people — .042 people

Iceland, however, takes the cake.

The republic was founded in 1944 and the first time the cops shot someonewas in 2013. And we can’t use the “Iceland is anti-gun” excuse, either.According to PRI, Iceland ranks 15 in the world when it comes to per capita gun ownership.

US: 10,000 people killed — 35.0 killed for every one million residents

At long last it is not about gun legislation. It is also not about demographics and ethnic diversity - 14.3% residents of Sweden are foreign-born, almost 15% of English citizens are non-white.
Is it only about mentality? I seriously doubt that. To my mind, the problem is in poor working practices and different officer-citizen relations in the US. American cops pull the trigger when they feel threatened, European cops do it when there is a clear need for it.

Bizarre.

 

[ScienceRocks]

That has something to do with having 40,000,000 ******* that think nothing of committing crime. When you run into the police as much as these asshole = high level of police killings...

Name another western country that has this many animals?

Not looking for scapegoats, no way.

"America Is #1 in Police Killings Among Western Democracies"

This fails as a false comparison fallacy.

 

[Mac1958]

Well, that number may decrease now that the cops are pulling back and people are killing each other instead of them.

The PC Police win another one.

[iamwhatiseem]

The statistic only becomes relevant if you enter crime statistics as well.

I would not call them animals but I get your point. Blacks constitute around 13% of American overall population. In Sweden and England this percentage is even higher (around 15% if I am not mistaken). What we see in the US is quite different from European police attitude toward suspects. The percentage of non-Whites is approximately the same, the difference is in the attitude.

And over half of those killed by police are WHITE


awe fuck, I just blew the narrative right out the window....oops

Please check out the statistics provided in the article. Why do you think it is bad to compare the US to other countries, especially if they are doing better than us in certain aspects of their life? Comparisons can be irrelevant but not in this case. I am not saying we should compare America to Zimbabwe and draw far reaching conclusions. We are pretty close to Western Europe in terms of mentality and culture. So why not?

I wonder how those stats compare when you take out gun free zones known as blue states.

 

[whitehall]

Norway and freaking Finland? The U.S. supports more illegal aliens than the combined populations of the Scandanavian countries. Who the hell would want to live in freaking Finland anyway? More Law Enforcement Officers were killed in the line of duty in the U.S. in a year than the total shootings in the Scandanavian countries. What does it prove? Idiot left anti-Americans are desperate to malign their own Country.

Brian, solid post...

Iceland is a hard example to hold things against as they have small population (300k) and a tiny police force (805)....

The rest of Europe is a solid comparison. Simply put and this comes from Irish police... In Ireland we have generally speaking no handguns... The police have no guns and the police have no guns (on regular duty)...

So they don't expect to get shot... Just owning a handgun illegally in Ireland is 5 years jail... Life is simple, I have never seen an officer armed on the street in Ireland... It happens but it is so rare you never see it... The army escort some security vans with guns and that's it...

I don't think the US get it... We live in a gun free society and really really enjoy the freedom of not getting shot... That's like one of our best freedoms, we have no need to carry a gun and no one will have one either...

We do spend more on mental health, jail less people.... Germany has more immigrants per capita then the US...

The truth about this is not just about gun rights and access to guns, this is also about other services like mental health, equal access education, policing investment (not in military weapons but on higher training), social housing....
The US spends less on these than Europe, they are not trying to fix the problems...
The GOP spend their time cutting funding to the poor in some warped belief that this solves poverty, give them less and they will have more... Well thats a load of crap

I would bet we are higher in police BEING killed, as well.

Everyone of those countries does a better job educating their citizens, and a better job making certain that as many as possible have jobs that pay a living wage, and none of them have to worry about not being able to afford their medical bills if they should get sick. Because of that, they have a much lower crime rate. The only problem with all of these countries is that many Americans think they are "Socialist" countries, and therefore the commies are coming, the commies are coming.

Police are not bad. Blacks are not bad. Whites are not bad. PROFILING WITH PREJUDICE is bad.

The only common demonminator is PROFILING in nearly all Prejudice cases.

"I SEE A BLACK MAN TALKING ON HIS PHONE IN THE RAIN, I'M GOING TO CHASE HIM. He hit me for chasing him, I shot him." ~Zimmerman case

It was fun to watch "Into The Abyss" Documentary and see uneducated White People (from Texas) act exactly the same as Uneducated Black People, with the same result.

I use to act the same way. I fought for my alpha male status. I eventually learned it came with knowledge and not punching faces or killing people in these cases.
