Police shootings

I’ve quoted from “Harper’s Index” before.  This item contained in the latest issue is truly amazing.  I’ll quote it in its entirety:

Number of people fatally shot by British police in the past three years:  2
Average number of people fatally shot by U.S. police each day so far this year:  2.6


Please supply your own comment.

  1. As long as we have the second amendment, the NRA and paranoid people, the carnage will continue. I guess we don't really live in a very civilized society.

    1. I think "carnage" is exactly the right word.
