It has improve slightly (gone down) but my est of 65 was about right. Some high figures mid 2000's

Some good stats from around the world. USA homicides with fire arms.is about the same as Argentina

...one reason why no police men were convicted for manslaughter was possibly because all of those deaths were lawful.

....said a police spokesman.

Well i'm sure the police hasn't murdered almost 1500 people. On the other hand how many of those deaths should have been prevented?

Bit of a whitewash.

Found guilty of "Gross Miscounduct" - not a bad result for a bully whose actions probably killed someone.

Here's hoping the civil action takes most of that off him.

If there's any justice at all that's exactly what will happen.

I've pretty much given up hope on the criminal justice system when plod are in the wrong.

Typical outcome really.

A low ranking police officer , (or soldier etc) on the front line will take all the blame for following the orders he’s been given by “superiorsâ€

He got away lightly considering he should be in jail!
