US police: 687k UK police: 123k US police killed: 38 UK police killed: 3 If the rate in the UK was the same as the US, 6 policeman would be killed when actually only 3 were killed (123*38/687). So in the US police are about twice as likely to be killed, yet they kill 500x more people. You're right, they're not equatable _at all_.
