Now I’m curious how that list looks if one counts extra-judicial executions. I.e. when the police kill someone.
From what news I get, total gut feeling here, there’s gotta be way more than 30 deaths from police action per year in the US, but I’ve no idea what the equivalent rates would be in those other countries.
When I google “ killed by police Saudi Arabia” for SA, I just get Jamal Khashoggi. For Iran, it seems to happen and be reported on, but not as thoroughly.
If like me you were wondering how many are executed in the US, it’s on average about 30 per year. Fewer than I expected.

1232 last year in the US

I’m inclined to assume that it’s just not reported on in SA etc.
But 40:1 ouch.
That is because of our extremely slow process.
I’m against the death penalty just to clarify.
