It doesn't surprise me that police kill more people than people who do not have to confront and handle violent behavior. Other stuff you've said about problems with policing has been more compelling to me, like the comparison to other places that are more successful in policing effectively with lower mortality rate for the criminals.

It's a fair point, but I still found the data concerning. If there were more consequences when police abuse their power, then the rates probably wouldn't be so high.

25x higher is not much higher. that's not even 102 difference.

How many people spend each day seeking out engagements with criminals and then tying to make said criminals stop their criminal behaviour?

25x is a lot higher...

not really.

100X is getting significant, but 25 is only an order of magnitude greater. just one. given the nature of the work, that's bugger all.

Compare to the chances of being bled on between normies and nurses.
