In one month (March 2015) the US police have killed more people than police in the entire United Kingdom in 115 years!

My goodness that does seem excessive. Or perhaps it's just that people in the US have been very bad over the past month. Which makes sense since in raw numbers and by percentage of the population, the United States has the most prisoners of any developed country — and it has the largest total prison population of any nation in the world. United States citizens are clearly a lawless bunch. They would have to be to justify murdering them in the streets in such large numbers and at such an alarming rate.

I wouldn't be concerned though I'm sure those 111 people killed in one month by the police deserved it. It would never happen to law abiding people like you or me.
