Oh it totally makes sense if you ignore everything about the countries that the author is comparing the US to except 1.) Police exist in those countries 2.) crime also exists in those countries (and no we're not considering any factors that affect this outside of the amount of police there are).
Like seriously the first graph assumes that the amount of officers per 100k people is significant in itself when countries might have law enforcement structures (like a "national police force") that just count more people in law enforcement as "police" even though they direct traffic or write parking tickets full time. Is this guy just not counting US federal agencies as police?
