  I read through both articles. I'm sorry, but I do not see any comparisons between US and other countries. > between 90 percent and 95 percent—of the civilians shot by officers were actively attacking police or other citizens when they were shot” Sounds like the vast majority used exactly the amount of force required. Also, does not anywhere state the types of crimes being committed which would be relevant.

    I said they were just the start, you can use them to seed more searches on google. You can for example see the graph here: https://cdn.theatlantic.com/thumbor/rFBg-9fA0Ehnx8OSyE6UvrD0Ro8=/620x493/filters:format(png)/https://cdn.citylab.com/media/img/posts/2019/08/vice_table/original.png https://cdn.theatlantic.com/thumbor/rFBg-9fA0Ehnx8OSyE6UvrD0... Showing an avg. 50% fatality rate on police shootings. You can compared this to other countries, which have the same statistic at something like 5-10% and it's not like these countries are overrun by mass shootings or terrorists. Some might actually says its the reverse :D
