ORIGINAL: WickedsDesire Whether the American death squads thought he looked a bit black and shifty – too early to say BBC site “Police have not given the man's ethnic origin or that of the police officer, but did say he was armed with a stolen handgun and had an arrest record.” In England and Wales in the 12 months to March 2016, British police discharged their firearms on just seven occasions One counting project found 613 people dead, how may injured?, had been killed by US police so far in 2016, as of 28 July. What’s scary here is not the 613, which is absurdly high, nor the fact it covers 7 months, its the fact they have no idea how many their death squads mow down. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/uk-police-shooting-statistics-discharge-firearms-figures-freddie-gray-baton-killings-homicide-a7160391.html The US doesn't have death squads, although I understand that they are common in some countries.
