Highway patrol troopers in Oklahoma fatally shot a man whom they had been trying to get out of high water, authorities said. The two troopers responded to a stranded motorist call south of Tulsa late Friday and found two men with two vehicles, said Capt. Paul Timmons of the Oklahoma Highway Patrol. The troopers told the men to come toward them to safer ground out of the high water, Timmons said. But at some point, an altercation broke out. The troopers fired, killing one of the men, 35-year-old Nehemiah Fischer, according to Timmons. They arrested the other man, Fischer's older brother, Brandon, who was uninjured.

Honestly this crap makes me laugh now. One could write anything about American police and it would sound believable. Family of three shot dead after police officers mistake raccoon for Bill Cosby
I would bet good money that if you knew the whole story you would actually applaud the police officer who shot.
Yeah, I'm sure. American police are the most violent, trigger-happy killers of any First World nation's police force.
"Fischer had a gun, said captain Paul Timmons, an Oklahoma department of public safety spokesman. He said he was unable to provide more detail about whether Fischer was armed at the moment of the shooting and who exactly fired the shots."

Ah ha! You are doing your Apples vs Oranges comparison again. To get a true picture, now compare those numbers you presented
Britains beat cops aren't allowed to carry firearms (unless that's changed recently and I haven't heard) only night sticks, and they know how to use them very well. Seen a Bobbie take out the trash one night in a pub called "The Scarlett Pimpernel", all you could see was a blur and the bodies falling.
“Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.”
Then subtract shootings of blacks, Mexicans and illegals.
1. "I" am not doing any comparison there, I did not make the graphic. 2. It's not "apples and oranges" to compare police killing statistics between developed countries.
Proving: There are a lot less thugs in Germany than there are in America.
What a stupid conclusion. American police have a well-earned notorious reputation for being quick on the trigger, and you're not doing them any favors with your apologetics.
Only a bleeding heart liberal would espouse shooting an EDP threatening any gun armed person with a machete, to be shot in the leg so he can be "saved", never cured... but on tax dime temporarily head shrunk, to be turned loose so he can chop someone up later. You're Piricles weak and soft. lol

The officers involved in this should have been charged and fired... and Dorner barbecued. Well, we got 50% of that.

Cop : "In order for us to save you from dying from these flood waters, I am going to shoot & kill you"
From another source. The second man who was stranded in the flood was arrested and taken into custody by police, and no further information or comment has been revealed about the incident or the men involved. It was later reported that the victim was 35-year-old Nehemiah Fischer, an assistant pastor at his local church. Well, that should make Tater's day - he hates Christian pastors. Interesting that Leather-Boy is on a jihad against Christians lately - one might come to the conclusion that his religion is the "religion of peace".

in the graph you “cherry picked” to the total number of criminals
brought into formal contact with the police and/or criminal justice

There, that makes more sense.
Rank - Country - Count(2011)
1 - USA-12,408,899
2 - Germany – 2,112,843
Britain and Japan are not even in the top 10.

Police fire 103 shots at two innocent people during the Dorner manhunt. Police later concluded they were in the wrong.

Americans who have no experience with, or knowledge of, tyranny believe that only terrorists will experience the unchecked power of the state. They will believe this until it happens to them, or their children, or their friends.
