Its not fair to compare completely different countries/cultures but when I read a headline like that I cannot help but do a quick study.

Utah

Population: around 3M

2014 police kills: 13

Germany

population: around 80M

2012 police kills: 3

Germany gets a really bad rap, ya know after 2 world wars and a holocaust, but its still about 112 times safer than Utah for this one statistic...
