A Safer Place

I suppose everyone else has already seen this since the story is already a year old, but it´s new to me.

According to Der Spiegel, police in Germany fired 85 bullets against people in all of 2011, and 49 of those were warning shots. A total of 6 people were killed by police bullets.

In the same year, police in NYC fired 84 bullets at one suspect and police in LA fired 90 times at an unarmed fleeing suspect.

The police policy in the U.S. is: First, shoot to kill. Then ask questions later.
