Sorry Peter, I don't follow you. We are not talking about gun deaths (which are about 33,000 a year in the US) - we are talking about people killed by the police. 917 against 6 is not 'little difference', and the UK has both gang violence and drug problems. I'm not attacking your country - I'm providing info to make people think about the problem, and that there might be a better way to deal with these things. Something that avoids innocent, unarmed people being killed by trigger happy cops.
