... I'm sure we won't be emulating anytime soon:
German police officers fired a total of 85 bullets in 2011, 49 of which were warning shots, the German publication Der Spiegel reported. Officers fired 36 times at people, killing six and injuring 15. This is a slight decline from 2010, when seven people were killed and 17 injured. Ninety-six shots were fired in 2010.
Heck, Jose Guerena got 71 bullets fired at him on his own. Note that 49 of those shots were warning shots.
An interior minister also said
"It is gratifying that the use of firearms by police officers against people is declining,"
Yeah, that'll happen in this country as well, just not the way everyone would hope ...
