They can literally straight up murder minorities and get away with it.

The George Floyd thing happens every single day in the US

What are your thoughts people from Canada/UK/Australia/etc...?

Can your cops just straight up murder people like that?

Many other countries have police that are just as bad or worse. Just a few days ago in the Ukraine two police officers raped and tortured a woman which are said to be a tip of iceberg for that department with a long history and rape and murder and protection for the perpetrators. Hundreds stormed the police station demanding justice. You don't hear about these things because people don't care about these countries as much as America.

It justifies police behavior in America.

We're such a just and free country that can bully the world based on our morals and our cops get away scott free with murdering minorities.

Irrelevant and meaningless distinction for the victims. Abuse from the police and coverup exist everywhere. American police are not special.

Police in America typically are motivated by racism. Trust me they act completely different towards minorities than they do white people

And police in other countries are not racist? You're delusional.

As bad as the police can be in America, the police in some other countries would put the fear of God into you.

The thing is I'm white. Every single time I've been pulled over the cop called me sir and talked to me calmly

It's something we don't experience at all

So, what you're saying is that American police aren't special and shouldn't be trusted or given deference?

No, I'm saying police get away with murder everywhere. Are you saying that just because a country is poorer that police shouldn't be held to any standards and that they should expect getting away with murder because they're "third-world" people or whatever disparaging label you assign them to diminish their crimes?

Poverty increases crime. Its no wonder that poorer countrys have more militarized police. And the U.S. is a 3rd world nation so it makes sense that our police act like it.

The riots are mostly justified. The looters are scum obviously but i have no problem with them trashing target since target openly supports the police

Yeah, Breaking Bad is the pinnacle of television, but it's not great across the board for other aspects of America.

Buddy have you heard of France?

Shit, the UK has like 20 police killings a decade, but is no stranger to riots resulting from them.

Guillotines would take care of police brutality pretty damn quickly, though.
