Interesting that in other modern nations like England, Germany, Japan,
et cetera, the police there hardly ever kill anyone.

Their police hardly ever get killed either.


Why do you suppose that is?

A culturally less violent and more compliant society.
If you ask your average German whether it was OK to attack an officer
and try to take his weapon he would simply be aghast. They would
expect to be killed.


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

German police have guns, Toad.

Are you implying that Brown was killed because of the easy
availability of guns? To cops? Or to Brown? You're making little sense
here, Toad.

Less availability of guns in modern western societies seems to result in
a less violent society, eh?

It's the behavior of the folks behind the gun that's the problem,
Toad. Look at Switzerland, they have a lot of guns, but the behavior
of the gun owners is much better. Look at the guys here on rec.boats.
Lots of them own guns, some, like yourself, own a whole arsenal of
guns. How many folks have you shot with them? None? Well, why the hell
not? Lots of guns were available to you, but you didn't go out and
shoot anyone.

In fact, I don't think anyone here has shot anyone. Wonder why not?
