If a foreign country had a rogue police force that killed citizens and then passed a law criminalizing the recording of the police we'd easily call them a dictatorship.
The difference is that here in Germany, our police officers don't have to fear that the person they're stopping is someone who is running drugs and already has two convictions, meaning any third conviction locks him up for life - so they can decide to simply shoot the cop and hope to get away versus a guaranteed life in prison [1].
Additionally, German police is training their people for ~2.5-3 years [2], whereas the US training is a couple of weeks at worst and a national average of 19 weeks [3].
The US needs to get a lot under control if it wants less police murders: they need to get rid of the absurd amounts of guns floating around, they need a drastic sentencing reform and the complete end of all three-strike policies, they (and fwiw, we too) need to end the "war on drugs", and they need to actually treat police training like any regular job education.
Unfortunately, getting the required majorities to fix all that is completely impossible.
If you sort by: "People killed by security forces", out of the top 34 countries, 33 are underdeveloped or developing (and several are at war or have an ongoing civil war). The US is in 7th place.
Interestingly, Canada is the 35th, but it still has about 9 times fewer cases per capita than the US...
The math is off. Divide the deaths by the population, that column is wrong. Canada is actually at less than a third of that number, based on their own columns.
In virtually all of those, the shot attackers were armed themselves. Does stopping someone actively trying to kill a third-party make the police force "rogue"?
That’s not supported by actual statistics, even if it’s a popular narrative among some political groups.
