You are 66 times more likely to be killed by a police officer if you are in the US compared to in the UK.

The comment was talking about things being Orwellian. Is it not Orwellian to have police killing many, many civilians?

There’s other things.

For example, the UK is the most surveiled populace over any whole country. Which is neat.
