Being honest though, there are a ton of American cops who shouldn't be cops. There are over 18000 police services in the US! That's crazy and likely a major contributor to bad cops, poor hiring habits, poor training and zero accountability.

That's where the stats from other countries make the difference though, if the UK has about the same level of police killed by knives as Canada but kill suspects with knives massively less then you have to surely acknowledge our police are generally over responding to a perceived threat that really doesn't exist, the threat in all jurisdictions is statistically the same, the only thing that is changing is the number of people the cops are killing
