For reference, in the US there have been 470 people killed by the police just this year; that&#x27;s ~3 people a day. Not debating just&#x2F;unjust - just facts as compiled by The Guardian [1]<p>The Economist wrote about this divergent trend between America&#x27;s police and other nations, including in this potent chart [2]:<p>&quot;Deaths from Police Shootings&quot; (latest year available) Japan = 0 Britain = 0 Germany = 8 America = 458<p>[1] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theguardian.com&#x2F;us-news&#x2F;ng-interactive&#x2F;2015&#x2F;jun&#x2F;01&#x2F;the-counted-police-killings-us-database" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theguardian.com&#x2F;us-news&#x2F;ng-interactive&#x2F;2015&#x2F;jun&#x2F;0...</a><p>[2] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.economist.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;united-states&#x2F;21636044-americas-police-kill-too-many-people-some-forces-are-showing-how-smarter-less" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.economist.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;united-states&#x2F;21636044-america...</a>

&quot;A part of the great thing of living in this country is that you can enter parliament and the only thing they ask you to do is to turn off your cellphone, so you don&#x27;t disturb the parliamentarians while they&#x27;re talking. We do not have armed guards following our prime minister or president. That&#x27;s a part of the great thing of living in a peaceful society. We do not want to change that. &quot;<p>Amen.
