What's your argument here ? Police brutality is ok because US police officers are more prone to being killed ? By now there are thousands of videos clearly showing people not resisting, sometimes not even participating in any crime, being beaten and/or killed by the police, it's not normal and no one should defend that.
Gun violence in the US is the symptom of very deep problems, you can't consider it just by itself while disregarding the societal issues being it.

No one said that police brutality is OK, just that it can be partially explained by the fact that police in the US are more likely to be killed than in other countries.

The total murder rate in Switzerland appears to be less than 200 per year; you're welcome to try to find more stats in this if you speak German: https://www.bfs.admin.ch/bfs/de/home.assetdetail.11147486.ht...
