US police forces kill far more people than the overall homicide rate in Europe

How are you calculating this? Doesn’t seem right.

2024 was the worst year with 1,365 police killings in the US. That’s around 4 people for every million. Per capita this is a rate 8x that of France which I believe has the most police killings in Europe.

General European homicide rates vary on countries from 5 (Swiss) to 42 (Latvian) per million. It’s higher than the rate of police killings in the US.

However, the general homicide rate in the US is like 6x the European rate.

I only briefly checked the numbers, I hope I didn’t get anything wrong.

I’m guessing we should divide FOSS into political camps? We can’t code in open source projects with contributors that have political positions we oppose?

This seems to be the trend I’m seeing.
