What other statistic should I be looking at?

- oblio 4y agoIf you sort by: "People killed by security forces", out of the top 34 countries, 33 are underdeveloped or developing (and several are at war or have an ongoing civil war). The US is in 7th place. Interestingly, Canada is the 35th, but it still has about 9 times fewer cases per capita than the US...
- zmgsabst 4y agoYou should sort by “per capita”, where Canada has a third of US police per capita shootings. Which makes sense, given the US’s problems with organized crime and drug trafficking — and a generally more armed society.
- oblio 4y agoThe math is off. Divide the deaths by the population, that column is wrong. Canada is actually at less than a third of that number, based on their own columns.
- mminer237 4y agoIn virtually all of those, the shot attackers were armed themselves. Does stopping someone actively trying to kill a third-party make the police force "rogue"?
