With more than 3 times the population of Germany the law of averages says the U.S., where I live, would have more crime and require cops to shoot more.

Like some of the comments in the article said, probably cultural differences play into it was well too.

German Population: 81,702,329

Bullets Fired: 85

Per-Pop Average: 1 bullet for every 961,203

If that average were to hold true for the U.S., American police would have shot only 324 bullets last year.

I think culture has a lot to do with it.
