Their police hardly ever get killed either.

A culturally less violent and more compliant society.
If you ask your average German whether it was OK to attack an officer

expect to be killed.

Oh. So it has nothing to do with the easy availability of guns.

There is no question. Europeans regard Americans as cowboys.

Nothing wrong with cowboys. Got to talk with many of them last summer.
