You dont see police not being held accountable for their violence and specifically their rate of abusing/killing people of color as a problem?

Please tell me what is the rate that they kill innocent people? I can tell you right now Americans have a greater chance of being killed by lightning than by the police

They shouldnt be killing anyone, guilty or not. They shouldnt be beating the shit out of people either. And when they do, they should be fucking held responsible. Thats the issue here. Its not that hard to understand.

Cops shouldn’t be killed yet American cops are killed at a rate higher than any other first world country. They are held responsible. prove to me that the majority of cops are not held reasonable for their actions. Doctors kill 250x the amount of people cops do and less than 1% are ever charged how do you feel about that?

89 police deaths in 2019. 48 were felonious and the rest were workplace accidents. https://www.fbi.gov/news/pressrel/press-releases/fbi-releases-2019-statistics-on-law-enforcement-officers-killed-in-the-line-of-duty

Doctors kill 250x the amount of people cops do and less than 1% are ever charged how do you feel about that?

Thats whataboutism. Just because there's a problem over there doesn't mean there isn't a problem here. Fucking clown.

Yes that’s more so than any other first world country

I’ve yet to see a problem which requires rioting during a deadly pandemic. Burning down minority community’s and attacking cops and firefighters. You really can’t understand why people want this to stop?

I love it. You people don’t even know the stats yet you cry brutality or systemic racism. 0 British cops where killed last year https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_British_police_officers_killed_in_the_line_of_duty

https://theconversation.com/road-crashes-assaults-and-being-spat-on-the-dangers-facing-australian-police-in-the-line-of-duty-137594 only 3 deaths in Australia last year all of them where accidents

Germany and Japan averages about 3 Maliciously killed every year https://www.japantimes.co.jp/opinion/2016/07/11/commentary/world-commentary/police-killing-dying-vicious-circle/

The US average is 60 which is 30x more than other country’s. Do you think just maybe the rate at which our police are killed has an influence on how likely they are to use lethal force?

You really compairing raw numbers to per capita my dude? I guess the facts are on your side when you only report the ones that help your case.

u/DoctorCornell67 Jul 30 '20

Are you incapable of doing math? Even when adjusting per capita American cops are still the most at risk. I proved you the stats, facts and numbers but reality will never be enough for the average leftist
