No I'm saying that your statistics are flawed/selective. The OPs clearly don't apply to the UK at all.

- richmarr 11y ago> The OPs clearly don't apply to the UK at all. Bingo. The actual article is about a UK agency making a statement about terrorism, and the parent commenter, danlindley, quoted a statistic implying police killings are what MI5 should be talking about instead of cyberterrorism. You could argue that he wasn't implying MI5 should talk about police killings... but that would remove the last fragile connection between his comment and the actual topic: MI5 & terrorism. I replied to him to point out why a UK intelligence agency would not be interested in making a statement about the topic he implied they should... that the UK has negligible incidence of police killing civilians and that even if we did MI5 would have no incentive to discuss it. You can argue my statistics aren't perfect if you like, but to do that would be missing the point.
