Look up the per-capita number of deaths caused by U.S law enforcement officers vs other countries.

Then look up the per-capita number of people put in hospitals by U.S. law enforcement officers vs other countries.

Then look up the consequences U.S. law enforcement officers face when they harm or kill. Also look up their relative training.

Finally look up most dangerous professions and see where law enforcement ranks to get an idea of whether their lives are truly in such danger as to justify their actions.

After looking at this data (and I apologize for not providing citations directly but I’m on mobile), it’s hard to avoid forming the opinion that U.S. law enforcement is undertrained, unjustifiably aggressive, protective of bad officers, and unaccountable to the communities it serves.

Anecdotally, I’ve had more than my fair share of interactions with officers and about 20% of them have been hotheaded jerks.

Oh, I forgot one: look at the domestic abuse numbers for law enforcement officers too.
