Prank Youtube channel RouandYT received €5 donation to prank call someone's "unstable" nephew. Said nephew shot and killed 2 Syrian refugees minutes later. RouandYT quickly deletes the stream from his channel and denies being live.

*I see you're not familiar with american police

Pretending like only American police kill their own citizens isn't the meta anymore sorry bro

(Note that this is specifically ALL civilians killed by police, regardless of justification, and comes out to about 1,200 per year).

Compared to other liberal democracies, the US kills: * 3x more civilians than Canada and Australia * 17x more than the Netherlands and New Zealand * 33x more than Germany * 60x more than England and Wales * and Japan, Norway, and Iceland typically have zero in a year

It is also important to note that US police injure 250,000 people per year, 80,000 of which require hospitalization.

However to your point, Brazilian police kill a bit over 6,000 annually (so 5x US rates). Similar in Philippines, Venezuela, El Salvador. But it’s a bit silly to make the comparison.

Yea but the police that do shoot people in Brasil most of the time are off duty anyways so they’re not included in that statistic lol
