Ah ok did not see that you mixed police and citizen violence together.
Now I’m left wondering what are attempting to measure?
What does hours of training for police have to do with how violent the non police citizens are? Wouldn’t introducing this skew everything?

This country is 1000% more violent than Norway bruh.
Why? Who knows but it’s relevant as hell to this data.
Not only do Americans HAVE guns…. We use them. It’s a mix of super armed and super violent culture compared to other western countries.
Therefore you can’t trot out a simplistic comparison between our police and Norway’s without controlling for many more dangerous situations an American cop is going to see vs a Norwegian cop.

One key issue is this does not control for the crime rate of each state.
I’m going to assume more shit goes down in Texas than Iowa.
More violent crime means more possible violent interactions with law enforcement.

No other nation is as armed. So that stat is a bit moot.
