I live in Germany and in 2015 our police, for the whole year, in the whole country only fired 88 bullets. Germans go through 3 years of training and have a lot of training on non-violent/lethal deescalation.
I also used to live in the US, and the cops there are nuts.
Jon Oliver did a good video on accountability:

There are a lots of issues with race and police in the US also.

- bodono 6y agoCurious you went all the way back to 2015. Why not go further back to 1940? German police weren't looking too good then. We can all cherry pick data, but often what's left out says more.
