German Police Used Only 85 Bullets Against People in 2011
Anyone know WHY this is?Germany is certainly not crime free, so some possibilities that come to mind:1. Perhaps German criminals, for whatever reason, are more docile than American criminals and give up when asked to so there is little need for the police to use violence.2. Perhaps German criminals aren't as well armed as American criminals, and so when the police try to arrest them the criminals know they are outgunned and give up.3. Perhaps German police are not very good at tracking down armed criminals and so the are few chance for the police to use guns.If I had to guess, I'd guess that #2 is the most likely of those three possibilities, but I've surely not thought of all the possible explanations.Without some insight into why they fire their guns so rarely, this statistic is just interesting trivia.
