There is absolutely no way I would want to be a cop now. I guess the left got education, Hollywood, and the media, and now they'll get the police.
The right's biggest mistake was in not putting more of their people in the field of education. |
And you're are correct sir, aiming after a suspects legs is not as easy as I thought it was.
My former comments was based on several hours of tv-documentaries about the Danish police in education, work in the field and the latest 5 years event-where three or was it four suspect had been hit in the leg Thigh I think it was.
I also changed the search criteria and asked how many people have been killed by the Danish police and I found a report, where I copied what I think would be the best part.
"The number of reports on the use of firearms during the whole period 1985-2002 fluctuated between 196 (in 1998) and 304 (1992), often with very large fluctuations from year to year.
On average, made 247 reports per. year. In 2002, the figure was 269, roughly the same number as in 1985. There is no clear trend in the use of firearms by the police during the investigation period. This is remarkable because
Danish policemen do not therefore often feel the need to protect themselves with firearms at the beginning of the new millennium when compared with the latter half of the 1980s.
- Police have throughout the period shot and hit a total of 90 people, of whom 78 were injured and 12 died as a result of the shots.
