> They don't want the rate to be low, they want it to be zero

As someone that cannot even vote in the US (and is therefore neither red nor blue) - that seems _eminently fucking reasonable_. This kind of thing just does not happen in the UK.

I'd wager there have been fewer police killings (let along just shootings) in the past two decades in the UK than just this weekend in the US.

For anyone that actually believes in small, limited government, the idea that government agents can wander around shooting effectively at will is so ridiculous that anyone claiming to be "red team" should hang their heads in shame.
