Yeah, Dallane, it's not like people have any reason to distrust cops.

That's very colorful, but what does it prove? Not much other than that over the course of 30 years, in a very large country, a few mistakes will be made.

This sort of thing makes me wonder if people who compare gun deaths / murders between the USA and other countries are taking account of population disparities when they do.

In the same time period a grand total of 11 people were killed by police in Germany. Yeah, that's a grand total, as opposed to that map which just shows mistakes by the police. They have a population of 80mil, roughly 1/4 of USA.

Okay, so maybe you should compare it to mistakes by German police. I looked at several of the examples on that map and only some of them were fatailities. And some of those fatalities were people shooting police who's mistake was in not being cautious enough.

Yeah, Dallane, it's not like people have any reason to distrust cops.

You're the type who rants about cops, and then screams the loudest when they are not there to help YOU fast enough. You are a MORON.

While I sympathize with the topic at hand and can agree that officers not just in the United States but around the world have one of the most difficult jobs around, I'd just like to point out that everyone knows what a big ***** the United States is and it's only continuing to worsen.

I'd honestly go live in Africa right now and risk contracting Ebola rather than live in the United States ever in my entire life.

Not so bad to visit though.

Yeah, then do it. Don't act like a spoiled brat, do something for a change!
I know you can, believe in yourself!
See for yourself how much better your life would be!
