Do we agree that the thing most likely to get you killed by police is a firearm?
I'm not even disagreeing with the idea that North American police kill people too much, I just think the "numbers" being used to prove it here are bogus. You casually say "which also have violent criminals", when in fact it's more accurate to say "Canadians kill each other with guns at a rate SEVEN TIMES higher than Norway".
The 410% does not account for this, so Canadian police are in fact not 410% less competent than Norwegian police.
