The problem with those comparisons is that the USA is more than twice as big as all of those countries combined in terms of population and area; therefore, to compare them with each other in terms of how many fatalities are caused by the police is unreasonable.

About 3.80 million square miles of land for the USA (source) and a population of about 328 million in 2019 (source).

About 137,846 square miles for Germany (source) and a population of 81.41 million in 2015 (source).

About 125,020 square miles for Norway (source) and a population of 5.20 million in 2015 (source).

About 130,558 square miles for Finland (source) and a population of 5.48 million in 2015 (source).

@EpicEnergy Okay so let us divide the 1004 fatalities in a single year by 2. That's still 500 fatalities in one year, and none of the other countries come even REMOTELY close to that. Most of these don't even have 1 fatality a year.

Even then, that isn't the right way to make that argument. Proportionately speaking by population, the US statistic if it had Germany's population would be around 254 fatalities per year, which is still completely insane, compared to Germany's 9 fatalities per year.

@Furret ᐡ꒳ᐡ I got that idiot on ignore for a reason. You should have seen the racist garbage they were posting in the Debate section of this site. Victim blaming, misrepresenting statistics about black people, It's gross I share a fandom with people like that.
