The UK has a population of 66 million.
The police there have killed 7 people over the past 3 years. The one in March? They tasered him three separate times before resorting to deadly force. In February? He had stabbed multiple people and was wearing a (hoax) suicide vest.
Canada has a population of 33 million people. There have been 4x the amount of people killed by police (29) in the last three years, with half the population. It’s a pretty stark contrast.
The US? Yeah, 330 million people, so 5x the size of the U.K., and 630 people killed by police, so about 90x more than the U.K. Absolute insanity and another conversation completely.
