Absolutely. America should just be more civilized, like the UK and keep all their police killings done out of sight, and don’t you worry! Just because you’re 7 times more likely to be killed by police interactions in UK by being brown, it’s not racism! They investigated themselves, and it’s all fine.
Perhaps American police agencies should start investigating themselves more and the papers should 100% just believe all their findings. That way you can just conveniently ignore it until the next time an American has to point it out to you.
Remember kids! If you just pretend the racism doesn’t exist in your country, it doesn’t!
With all that sarcasm, “I can’t breathe”
Throwing out a false equivalency doesn’t make it any less true.
Let’s keep it in perspective. In the UK, police fatally shot 3 people last year. American police fatally shoot more than 3 people every day. A brown person in the UK is still an order of magnitude safer from the police than a white person in the US.
