A thousand deaths per year is still an astronomical number considering police kills less than 5 people per year in the UK.

I think this viewpoint, commonly cited, is wrong. 1000/330m vs 5/60m (England and Wales)

36x (adjusting for population) a really small number is still a really small number. While all else equal I'd like to see the number reduced, there is much lower-hanging fruit elsewhere.
