Hasn't the French police (or law enforcment) been killing citizens since before America was colonised?
True from an overall perspective. But in the past decade American law enforcement has killed just over 1,000 civilians annually, whereas French law enforcement has killed about 38 annually.
Jeez. This is why I want Norway's police to stay unarmed unless abso-fucking-lutely necessary. Our cops kill 0.5 people annually (2009-2021 average) (which if we had france's population would have been 6 people annually). Unfortunately some cops and politicians are occasionally talking about making weapon-carrying permanent.
Damn, rookie numbers, France
