I'm not sure I'd call a rare occurrence where the US courts are prosecuting the perpetrator anything similar to a state-sanctioned system of oppression.

Each and every rare occurrence of a US police shooting goes toward the US having the highest per capita police killing stats in the G20.

Compare the per capita deaths at the hands of the police figures for the US against the UK, Australia, France, Germany, Japan, etc.

There's a staggering jump.

Once again the US excels.

You realize the US could be the highest, but it's still exceptionally rare right?

1,100 in 2022. So about 2.5% of the chance of dying in a car accident.

I don't wake up worried about dying in a car accident.

It's exceptionally rare in other civilised countries, in the USA it's an order of magnitude more common.

You've somehow normalised your own employees killing your own citizens.

It's not "orders of magnitude bigger". Canada is half of the US per capita rate. So is Luxembourg. Are Canada and Luxembourg "uncivilized"?

And an exceptionally rare event that is 2-10x more common is still exceptionally rare.

Don't scare monger.

An order of magnitude.

Just one. Ballpark 10x greater. Per capita.

I'm being numerically accurate.

Next you'll be telling us that school shootings are exceptionally rare .. and what, they don't matter because of that?

As I said, the US has normalised behaviour considered abhorent and deviant elsewhere.

Both morally and numerically.

Them's the facts.

But it's not an order of magnitude higher than other countries like Canada or Luxembourg. It's 50% higher.

Why did you avoid addressing that question?

And saying "them's the fact" doesn't really change anything if you don't address the fact shown.

And I as said (and you ignored), you stand a 20x higher chance of dying in a car accident. Do you avoid using cars at all? If you have to travel in a car, do you say "I'm not doing that! Too risky!"

If not, why would you be concerned at all about something with 20x less risk?
