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.

Other countries are at war too.
I’m sure it won’t be long before America has another awful war right in our streets. smh
Our laws protect the criminals and breaking the law here is a mere cat and mouse game. What is the law in Japan if you steal? Murder? $#%&!@*ault an officer? Rape? I’m sure the law there has a consequence a criminal would rather not risk. The places where you steal, you lose a hand will make you think twice before stealing. There are places in the world that have low crime and the streets are safe. The difference has nothing to do with the police but the laws. AZ Sheriff Joe does the best job in America and liberals cry about what he does. Stop protecting and giving criminals incentives and you will lower the crime rate. Make laws that cannot be played or manipulated. Criminals think the laws are a joke.
Headline explains thing, without trying! The most violent countries have lax and corrupt law enforcement.
BULL SH#T some police officers should not be cops, however to say that is just plain STUPID
The police or the citizens who refuse to follow laws?
Could it be that in certain parts of some cities short walk could mean death. First take care of thousands killings of Black People by Black People. (gangs).
People respect and do as Police Officers tell them there would not be any problems
No way
Look what they have to dael with.
Because obama has caused so many riots, its remarkable how few have been killed by police.
