    German Police Fired 85 Rounds in 2011, 14 More Bullets Than Fired at Iraq War veteran

    German Police Fired 85 Rounds in 2011, Which Is Just 14 More Bullets Than Were Fired at Jose Guerena This Time Last Year

    Mike Riggs | May 14, 2012

    German cops fired all of 85 rounds in 2011, according to a new study written up in Der Spiegel.

    A Boing Boing reader translates:

    "According to the German Police University police officers used exactly 85 bullets in 2011 - 49 warning shots, 36 shots on suspects.

    15 persons were injured, 6 were killed.

    Germany has a population of about 80 million. (This does only take into account shots in connection with crimes.

    There were an additional 9000 shots on dangerous, sick and injured animals)."
    Meanwhile, On May 5, 2011, a Pima County SWAT team fired 71 bullets into the home of Iraq War veteran Jose Guerena while his wife and four-year-old ducked for cover.

    That's one police department, in one county, on one day of 2011.
