Not about median. About absolute probability. In europe whats the probability as a policeman to run into someone who is armed with a handgun. I imagine it's very low. In american is still might be under 50% but even if it's 15-25% that's a lot of cops that are 'caught bringing pepper spray to a gunfight'.
- buttercraft 3y agoDo you seriously think that 25% of the people police interact with in the US are armed? Really?
- reaperman 3y agoThe actual percentage doesnt really matter for a steel-manned version of then original statement: > Sadly the people they confront in those european countries are significantly less armed than your average american. Basically, we can all readily accept that police are definitely more likely to interact with an armed citizen in the USA vs. the EU.
