In just one month this year (March, according to your favourite Wiki) there have been 25 fatal shootings in the US by police, January was 42 - Happy New Year! By Contrast February was a good month, only 15.

Saying the British Police are very, very, very, very trigger happy is way off the mark, I'm sure even if you included data from Northern Ireland it would still be way below that of your good ol' law enforcement officers - and I'm not saying that yours are very, very, very, very trigger happy, just moreso.

Okay. Obviously what I said there was an overgeneralization based on one passage that I read from Wikipedia. I tend to do that sometimes. I know that there are tons of shooting accidents with US cops and I probably got a bit generous with the "Very" part.


I didn't think before I posted very well.

@ Jim, BossMark, Herr-Berbunch. I'm sorry about that. I didn't think.
