Police overkill?

I don't think many Americans would be happy to live in a country without a second amendment. Comparing any kind of U. S. gun death statistics to to the rest of the world is an apples to oranges comparison. Nevertheless this graphic from the Economist may help us see how the rest of the world views the Ferguson shooting.

8 deaths/week, a little more than 1/day. That does not include all of the non-fatal shootings. Wonder how many that would be.

And all of this while the violent crime rate is declining.
