I believe the reality you described is the basis for the movie minority report, where the cops are so good crimes are stopped before they happen. If I am a relatively good person when I decide to commit a crime there would be no warning for cops. There’s no trail of paperwork, rap sheet, or perp associates... if cops were to be able to stop me given what I just described, I’m not sure I would want to live in that reality. With the title in mind a third of strangers killed are killed by cops, shouldn’t they be better at not killing people?

> I believe the reality you described is the basis for the movie minority report, where the cops are so good crimes are stopped before they happen. Or maybe criminals are mostly nonviolent. Implementation details, anyway. What I was aiming at is: in a world where the only people killed are ones who absolutely deserve it, the statistics would likely show that close to 100% of homicides are committed by police. > With the title in mind a third of strangers killed are killed by cops, shouldn’t they be better at not killing people? Yes, of course.

  In places without the death penalty, the set of people who "absolutely deserve it" is, by definition, null.

Without knowing or inferring how many they didn't kill you don't know if they are brilliant or terrible.
