I don’t think you understand how different the UK is
Police killings are extraordinarily rare here so hearing about any is eyebrow raising. Even more so the latest example of an ICE agent killing someone simply for pissing them off
Over here, the police have fatally shot a grand total of 88 people in England and Wales since 1990. So yeah, police shootings are pretty big news, and while they are sometimes justified, people certainly would get outraged by anything resembling the recent ICE shootings.
Interesting how you think being shot by authorities is less bad than being talked to for shitposting on X

> Are you outraged by all police shootings?
Only the unjustified ones, which is quite a lot of them in the US. They should automatically result in at least a public inquiry.
> On average three people are killed by LE per day.
In the US. This is a stupidly high number.
On average three people per year are killed by police in England&Wales. https://www.inquest.org.uk/fatal-police-shootings
