- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.

~~These numbers are easily found and already bad enough, why make absurd ones up instead?~~ OP misread
There were 1200 police-involved deaths in the US last year, not 350,000. A huge number, 6x more than France would have had were the populations equivalent, but not anything like the population of an entire large city being gunned down yearly.
you are right, because i misread it and took the wrong column in a table. this was yearly not per million - it's 33,5 per 10mio. in the usa against 5 per 10mio. in france.
thanks for pointing it out. i edited the comment
Ah, that would explain it!
