>>>Yeah. Whenever I say they, I mean every single police officers in London. Yeah I thnk they're all murders and have being murdering people for years.

>Things are a bit different here. An example:

>Prince George County, Maryland has a population similar to San Jose, California – 800,000. In Prince George County between the years 1990 and 2000, the police shot 122 people and killed 47. Police also shot one dog. Seems like the police are kinder to dogs.

>There is no reliable system to track police shootings in the United States. Such information is not available or given by the FBI.

>It is comforting to know that each year the FBI does tell us about crime in our country. For the last five years I have heard something interesting. Violent crime in our nation is down but rape and murder have increased. I guess it is all in the definition you wish to give to terms as to what in fact is meant!
