So now, in the US, not only does walking away from a police officer carry a summary death-penalty, but speeding in a motor-vehicle does too.

I'm so, so glad I live in a civilised country, where very few people need, want, or possess guns, and the vast majority of police officers don't carry firearms.

60 shooting deaths p.a. (UK) compared with 12,000 (US) is a very, very telling statistic. Unless you've been brainwashed by the lies and bullshit of the NRA, and fallen for that 'Second Amendment' hokum, of course.
