you're quite right, every single one of them is actively trying to kill each and every one of us. To consider any other possibility would be hysterical.

I see what you did there[1]

... Police in the united states have more than a century of flagrant misconduct under their belts. They protect their own, they almost never face consequences for killing people, they are frequently corrupt, they are frequently biased.
Here's a couple fun examples:

To be fair, this is Derbyshire in England. They are often a bit overkeen but they are not exactly Homan Square.
I think there have been less than two dozen police involved killings in the whole of the UK in the last six years, and that's in a population of seventy million people.
It's about 2% of the equivalent US figure (which averages 800 per year in 340 million people)
It doesn't make much difference if you perform similar practices in a different country. UK police are just like American police.

This is the UK, our cops don't even carry guns.
Quite a few actually do.
