The United States has the highest number of police deaths in the developed world
The current movement in the United States is not just about the assassination of one George Floyd.
The streets of the United States are now in turmoil in protest of the death of George Floyd. These protests and movements are not just happening because of one George Floyd. Police in riot gear stormed a rally on Friday, removing hundreds of protesters by truck. And this demonstration is bringing to the fore various information related to this. The most shocking fact is that among the rich and developed countries, the United States has the highest number of deaths in police custody or in police shootings.
In a related report, the US media CNN analyzed the comparative data of the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia and said that from July 2015 to March 2018, the United States is on top of all the three countries in terms of police custody or deaths due to police firing. At that time 13 people died in the UK. This number is 21 in Australia. And the United States has 1347 numbers. The United States has the highest number of deaths per million arrested. In the United Kingdom and Australia, the death toll is 2 and 5 per million, but in the United States it is 12. And figures from the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics show that the number of blacks is visually higher.
It is impossible to get accurate statistics on the number of people being arrested, tortured, or extrajudicially murdered in different countries each year. Even in the case of the United States, this information is not available. In particular, there are no precise statistics on how many people die each year in the country at the hands of the police.
In a statement to the US House Judiciary Committee in 2015, former FBI Director James Comey said, "It is not possible for us to discuss this. Because, we don't have any information. There are even statistics on how many people went to the movies last weekend. But there are no statistics on how many people were killed by police in the past week, last month, last year or any other time. '
According to an FBI report, in 2016, U.S. police fired on 406 people. Each of these has been run on the pretext of maintaining law and order. Needless to say, these FBI figures are also incomplete. In the same year, the US media itself reported that more people were killed in police shootings to maintain law and order, according to a CNN report.
According to the Washington Post, 1,004 people were killed in police shootings in the United States in 2019. According to the organization Mapping Police Violence, the number is 1,099. The fact that the information provided by the administration in this case is not true is clear from the statement made by the former director of the FBI in front of the House Committee.
In countries like the United Kingdom (with the exception of Northern Ireland) and New Zealand, the police do not always carry firearms. Among the G-7 countries, Canada is more like the United States. Even then, there were 461 people killed in police firing from 2000 to 2016. This number, however, is according to government calculations.
The rest of the developed world is not even close to the United States in terms of the number of arrests. According to CNN, the total number of arrests in the country in 2016 was 1 crore 3 lakh 10 thousand 960. That means an average of one arrest for every 32 U.S. citizens. And among those arrested, blacks are the first to use physical force.
According to a 2016 study published in the American Journal of Health, blacks are three times more likely to be killed by whites than by whites in the United States.
According to the London-based organization World Prison Brief, the United States also has the highest number of prisoners. The country's prisons hold more than two million inmates, more than the total population of Washington DC, Miami and Boston. One-third of these prisoners are black. Yet. Blacks make up just over 13 percent of the country's population. Shortly afterwards, allegations of racism surfaced against police in various cities and states in the United States, many of which they eventually admitted or are taking. Similar investigations have been carried out against New York police in the past year, and the truth has been found. This time again the issue has come to the fore with the death of George Floyd.
