3 per day is 1095 per year. 2 per day is 730. Both numbers ignore leap year. 730 is closer to 900 than 1095. How come your public radio system didn't report the number as two per day or spend the extra money for a decimal and another digit and report it as 2.5 per day?
USA has a per capita murder rate about three times that of Canada.
The USA has about 9.4 times Canada's population.
If the USA had the same population total as Canada and the USA kept its same police-shooting-citizen ratio then 900 per year would become 96 per year or about one every 4 days.
The more encounters between LEOs and violent criminals the more chances for a violent criminal to be shot. And the more chances for a LEO to be shot by a violent offender.
How many people were shot by LEOs in Canada last year?
