Do these statistics prove that the u.s is becoming a police state?

Question

This has nothing to do with black or non black. Most people shot in the u.s are white, since they make up the largest population.
See: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/04/01/1374908/-American-police-killed-more-people-in-March-111-than-in-the-entire-United-Kingdom-since-1900


and

The U.S has the most incarnation of any country in the world, but it only has an average homicide rate
See:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intentional_homicide_rate

and a below average assault rate

The u.s is becoming a police state and retards such as yourself are too stupid to see this.

Answer 1

You're a stooge for the Left. A massive federal government with a bureaucracy that writes its own laws and does not answer to the people is how we are becoming a police state.

Answer 2

Not really. If you look carefully and compare US incarceration rates and other countires incarceration + mental institutionalizations the numbers will be much closer. What THAT proves is the US needs to address the lack of mental health facilities. Our prisons are acting as mental health asylums too.

Add to that the extremely large numbes of non-citizens in the prisons in sme states and it may make you wonder if we take border protection seriously as well.

Answer 3

Government is abusive. From the cop that tailgates you until you forget to use a blinker, to the IRS that tampers with elections. Do you really think in light of all we have learned that Obama's people did not use the NSA to spy on the Romney campaign?

Answer 4

I think those data should be interpreted as this:



More criminals shot by police + Higher Incarcerated Rate = Below Average Assault Rate



However, I myself strongly support this :



Can non-lethal weapons reduce the need for deadly force?

Answer 5

It means that here in the US we prefer to keep our criminals in jail, rather than let them wander the streets.



At least we used to. Now we practice ignoring them or turning them loose because there is not enough room.
