I find it very interesting that a foreign media source is the only source that counts how many Americans are being killed by police death squads. The FBI doesn't bother to count it. They keep track of all kinds of crime stats, except when the crimes are committed by police. If it's police committing the crimes, the FBI has no interest in compiling the data. And forget about the US corporate media propaganda machines like Faux News and CNN. You will never find the information there.

If it wan't for the European media, we would have no way of knowing how many Americans are being killed by the police.

Comparing to Oz (another 1st world nation with armed police):

Looks set to be similar to 2015 totals for the US here. ~1000 per 320 million people per year

Oz is something like 6 per 23 million people per year

US has around 30-40 cops killed a year

Oz has...0

Make of that what you will.
