Most police officers do an amazing job at what they do: protecting and serving the American people. Despite this, there is a serious problem with some cops assuming that their badges grant them extra rights. Last year, police killed 1,100 Americans. The first five months of 2015 saw 476 deaths at the hands of American police, with over 1,100 predicted by the end of the year.
You may think that these numbers seem low, considering there are over 300 million Americans. But, when you consider the killing rate of our police officers in comparison with the law enforcement of other countries, it is very embarrassing.
Japanese police killed one person last year in a country with over 100 million citizens. Icelandic police only killed one person in its entire history. And, to top if off, American police have a murder rate worst than the homicide rates of the two most violent countries in the world.

Maybe its because if they do not meet the threat with equal or superior force they don’t go home to their families.
doubt it they deal with the most ignorant drugged up immoral unethical part of the population..i support the police..lies media…
That’s not always the case in some cases the law needs to quit abusing their power
Bull c**p ! Look at what they face in this lawless country they are working in !!!
Perhaps we should also look at the violence of the criminals the cops encounter….the U.S. Is deep in the throes of having a very violent society…road rage, rabid teens, mentally unstable, full blown sickos, mobs of religious freaks, and a national focus on one idiots gender iden$#%&!@*y issues over really important stuff like our survival as a country.
Cops are more violent because they encounter more violent criminals now more than ever
Look at the c**p they have to deal with on a daily basis!!! The government and media cause a lot of things to happen, that shouldn’t happen!!! Everything from burning flags to rioting, and burning cities down, to m$#%&!@* shootings. Most of the idiots that get hurt, have done something they shouldn’t have done. They think they are en$#%&!@*led to do what they want, without having to pay for what they do. The media always make their headlines as dramatic as they can, and the ones that should be praised more, are the ones they make out to be bad. We have a lot of criminals, because our judicial system is so screwed up. Instead of doing the time, they can get a lawyer, paid for or not, and get out of it or take a plea deal. If there was a set punishment for each crime, then all the lawyer would be for is to prove you didn’t do what you are accused of doing. If you did do what you are accused of, then you pay the price for that crime! And no one should live on death row for as long as they do!! I bet the crime rate, over a few years, would drop tremendously.
If violent offenders were hung publicly instead of kept in jail the crime rate would drop
Don’t believe it.

Just so you know that superior training got two British officers killed by a man with a knife last month during an altercation.
