Not that it should matter but I am a citizen of Germany since birth, live here now, and have a political science degree from the US. Yes, actually, a comparison can be done here.
Non-Germans are fully qualified to look at our history and current statistics and warn us about racism in policing.
Germany does not have the death penalty for what Lorenz did. He was shot IN THE BACK. Police who shoot people in the back should be fired and prosecuted. Otherwise we lose any moral high ground.
“But the Americans!” is what our centrists and right-wing use as an excuse to do nothing while things get worse.
