Then, with the 26-year veteran police officer who shot and killed a black motorist with her gun instead of her Taser arrested today and charged with second degree manslaughter, we speak with Stephan Schwartz, the editor of the daily web publication Schwartzreport.net and columnist for the journal Explore where he has an article “America’s Obsessive Gun Psychosis.” We look into how and why U.S. police kill far more civilians annually than any other wealthy country with the most recent date recording 1,099 deaths by police gunfire in the U.S. compared to 36 in Canada, followed by 21 in Australia, 11 in Germany, 4 in the Netherlands, 3 in the U.K., 2 in Japan and 1 in New Zealand.
