Not just uncaught murderers, there are a lot of people who have killed without legally being considered murderers.

People who killed people in accidents such as driving accidents or hunting accidents

People who killed in self defense

Soldiers who killed enemy soldiers

Executioners

Police officers who have killed on duty

Doctors and nurses who have made mistakes that accidentally killed patients

    Significantly more likely if you live in the USA. Not so much in big parts of the rest of the world.

      Yeah. I was thinking for the UK it’s highly unlikely a cop has killed someone here. We do follow America into war and I’ve got a few soldier friends who likely killed people, but our soldiers seem to talk about it less than American ones.

        smh, your soldiers don’t want to write books about how terrible warmongering made them feel so they can get that movie deal?

            “USian soldiers will invade your country, and then ten years later will write a book and make a movie about how traumatized they were by the war.”

            He’s mocking the typical route of a soldier with a story: a memoir or fictionalized tale of what they did, with the hope the book sells enough to get them a chunk of money or a movie studio makes a movie of it.

              Ah thanks. Now you explained it, it makes sense but before I couldn’t tell if he was having a go at the UK or not, to be clear people are justified to shit on my countries foreign policy.

              American sniper vibes I guess.

            well the united states are anything but, and crosses an entire continent. so many country-level statistics arent really comparable
