Reply to comment by breakfasteveryday in Police Killings per Capita v Homicide Rate per Capita for Select OECD Countries [OC] by dr5c

There are about 2 police officers for every thousand Americans. So, 28 police killings for every 10 million Americans means there are 140 police killings for every 100k police officers, as compared to 5 civilian killings per 100,000 American civilians.

So, there are 28 times as many killings by police officers per police officer than there are killings by civilians per civilian.
