Like I said, you're a tool. |
The USA is between 3 and 19 times more dangerous than Germany in all categories of violent crime.

Unlike the USA, Germany doesn't have a rash of deadly ambushes of cops like we have had, nor do police gun down criminals like they do here. There is truly no comparison between the levels of lawlessness in Germany and the USA.
According to the Washington Post’s database of fatal police shootings, 990 people were killed in 2015. In Germany, ten people were killed by police last year, according to a report on Thursday by publishing group Funke Mediengruppe, citing figures from the German Police University.
That means that while the population of the US is roughly four times that of Germany, the number of fatal police shootings there is about 100 times greater.
So far this year, 706 people have been killed by police in the US, according to the Washington Post. And by just January 5th of this year, more people had been killed by police in the US than Germany’s total for all of last year.

You sound about as ignorant about crime in northern Europe as your fellow Michigander Pete Hoekstra.
