You know, it's often more helpful to actually refute a source than going "LOL not Fox News/CNN doesn't matter"

Lol and no I'm not jumping on you space lol

Perhaps the police officers of the United States are more violent than elsewhere in Christendom because they have a reason to be? The United States is home to almost 320 million people, and has many more extremely densely and highly populated urban zones than other countries. I guarantee you the absolute majority of these police killings per year occur mostly within cities. The majority of suburban and rural United States is extremely peaceful, and without crime. But most of these statistics of police killings and crime originate from these extremely highly populated urban zones. I think we can also take into account that an entire ethnic group seems to have it out for police officers, and that these days it is extremely unsafe to be a police officer in certain regions, more killings than other countries does make sense. While police militarization is a problem, I agree, it is only a natural response. The less dangerous it is for a police officer to do his job, I am sure that less killings will follow. The police will act less like soldiers when being a thug and breaking the law isn't championed any longer in an entire segment of society.
