The police against citizen kill rate is roughly 145 per 100,000. Alone, this data may not mean anything. Is this high? Is this low? You’d be shocked at how sad this statistic is compared to other countries. According to Daily News:
In most countries in Europe the national homicide rate is 1 per 100,000, so that means American police kill at 145 times the rate of the average European citizen. The two most violent countries in the world are Venezuela and Honduras with national homicide rates of 54 and 90 per 100,000. The U.S. government issues travel warnings stating: “The Department of State continues to warn U.S. citizens that the level of crime and violence in Honduras remains critically high” and “violent crime in Venezuela is pervasive.” If you are not comfortable vacationing in those countries, it is little wonder why so many Americans are uncomfortable with police who kill at more than 1.5 and 2.5 times the homicide rates of the two most violent countries.
The American police kill rate also compares poorly to the police kill rates in other countries. Nationwide in England and Wales, Netherlands, and Scandinavian countries police average killing less than two people per year, giving police kill rates between a high of 9 per 100,000 in Denmark and a low of 1.6 per 100,000 in England and Wales. That means American police are killing citizens at a rate 15 times higher than police in Denmark and 90 times higher than police in England and Wales. For the first quarter of 2015, police in England and Wales have shot and killed a total of zero people, whereas American police killed 392 citizens in that time period. That rate is 205 kills per 100,000 police, infinitely higher than the zero in the land we once rebelled against for having standing armies on our soil. Last year police in Japan killed zero and police in Iceland reportedly have killed one person in their entire history.
Some argue that most deaths by police are justified and the victims deserved it. We know, for example, that Eric Garner in Staten Island was likely guilty of selling untaxed cigarettes; Michael Brown in Ferguson was likely guilty of shoplifting cigarillos; Walter Scott in Charleston was guilty of fleeing after being stopped for having a broken taillight; and Freddie Gray was caught with knife that was legal in Maryland but not in Baltimore. But since when should guilt for any of those crimes warrant a death penalty?
Our embarrassing kill rate among law enforcement should teach us a lesson. Such a high number of police killings is definitely not natural or okay in any way. When it comes to law enforcement, we should look to the officers of other countries. Take the case of the Swedish police on vacation in New York. When a subway fight broke out, did they shoot the men involved? Did they shout obscenities? No. They handled it professionally and tried to make sure everyone involved was okay. This is how some of the lunatic police in America should behave. They should want to help, not hurt criminals. It’s all about rehabilitation.

Dear lord help us!
The police deal with violent criminals everyday. Just because the criminals are more violent and the cops have to subdue them doesn’t mean all cops are violent people.
OBAMA US BLACKS TO FIGHT FOR IS MUSLIMS BROS. HE NOT FOR BLACKS MEN HE FOR MUSLIMS. THINK BLACK AMERICAN.
I will stand with our police departments wherever they are, because without them this country would be open for business for all murderer’s, criminals, rapists, and whatever evil that is out there. GOD BLESS the police.
I disagree.
Well duh!!!! When the criminal’s guns outpower the police and border patrol guns–what do you expect?
Saul Alinsky a communist socialist died about 43 years ago, but his writings influenced those in political control of our nation today.
Recall that Hillary Clinton did her college thesis on his writings and Barack Hussein Obama writes about him in his books.
Died: June 12, 1972, Carmel-by-the-Sea, Ca
Education: University of Chicago
Spouse: Irene Alinsky.
Books:
Rules for Liberal Radicals
Reveille for Radicals
Anyone out there think that this stuff isn’t happening today in the U.S. ?
All eight rules are currently in play
How to create a social state by Saul Alinsky
There are eight levels of control that must be obtained before you are able to create a Liberal Socialist state.
The first is the most important.
1) Healthcare : Control healthcare and you control the people.
2) Poverty : Increase the Poverty level as high as possible, poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you are providing everything for them to live.
3) Debt : Increase the debt to an unsustainable level. That way you are able to increase taxes, and this will produce more poverty.
4) Gun Control : Remove the ability to defend themselves from the Government. That way you are able to create a police state.
5) Welfare : Take control of every aspect of their lives (Food, Housing, and Income).
6) Education : Take control of what people read and listen to. take control of what children learn in school.
7) Religion : Remove the belief in the God from the Government and schools.
8) Cl$#%&!@* Warfare : Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. This will cause more discontent and it will be easier to take (Tax) the wealthy with the support of the poor.
Does any of this sound like what is happening to the United States?
Alinsky merely simplified Vladimir Lenin’s original scheme for world conquest by communism,under Russian rule.
Stalin described his converts as “Useful Idiots.”
The Useful Liberal Idiots have destroyed every nation in which they have seized power and control. It is presently happening at an alarming rate in the U.S.
If people can read this and still say everything is just fine. they are useful idiots. “It is difficult to free fools from the chains they revere.”
Wake Up America…
Hillary Clinton a liberal Socialist is running for office..she is backed by
George Soros a Communist Socialist who now backs and controls the
Devout Muslim Barack Hussein Obama…….
Is Anyone paying attention to whats going on in the United States of America right now!!!!!
