“Eighty-five shots: That’s the total number of bullets German police used in all of 2011, Der Spiegel reports. But what does it say when US cops use as much ammo to bring down one man as German cops need to keep the peace nationwide?  The rate at which German police discharged their firearms is further underscored by how rarely they shot with fatal intent.  U.S. violent crime has significantly dropped over the last 20 years, with murder and robbery rates halving from 1991-98.  But while citizens commit fewer crimes annually, US law enforcement have become increasingly militarized in the post-9/11 world.”
