Well, for some perspective, it's not just the police in the USA that shoot people is it:

https://edition.cnn.com/2017/10/03/americas/us-gun-statistic...

"The US has one of the highest rates of death by firearm in the developed world, according to World Health Organization data. Our calculations based on OECD data from 2010 show that Americans are 51 times more likely to be killed by gunfire than people in the United Kingdom."

"The U.S. gun violence death rate is also higher than nearly all countries in sub-Saharan Africa, including many that are among the world's poorest."
