Do you seriously think that 25% of the people police interact with in the US are armed? Really?


The actual percentage doesnt really matter for a steel-manned version of then original statement:

> Sadly the people they confront in those european countries are significantly less armed than your average american.

Basically, we can all readily accept that police are definitely more likely to interact with an armed citizen in the USA vs. the EU.
