Since many are not reported, then WTF are you talking about. Chances of being shot and beaten by Cops are just as great in the US... especially Shot.
Death by cop
Colorado police shoot civilians - lots of them.
So many, in fact, that this year the state may surpass the Texas death chamber in its number of executions.
Nationwide, Denver ranked in the top 10 in measurements of fatal shootings per 100,000 residents; in the top 10 in fatal shootings per 1,000 police officers; in the top 10 in fatal shootings per 1,000 arrests for violent crimes; in the top 10 in fatal shootings per 100 murders; and ranked second in fatal shootings per 10,000 violent crimes.
