Police with bad training kill more and are killed more, not really a surprise there. A better trained police would reduce the number of violent encounters and be less likely to be killed in a violent encounter. I mean it is factor 40. This are third world numbers. I don' really think there is a valid excuse for that. It may be that the majority of prisoners are there for violent crimes. But how many of them were in prison for a non-violent offence the first time? The percentage of innocent people in prison is probably below 10%. But the number of exonerations of the innocent project and the difficulties and issues they uncover, make it hard to believe, that it is in the lower single digit range. Most of the time it is just pure luck that a false conviction is overturned. So there must be many more. Today we know just how unreliable eye-witness testimony is, especially of a different ethnicity, yet it has been a major way criminals are identified.
