50/50 Those cops looked like they were full send before they rounded the car.
Also, don't dodge that the vast majority of cops aren't held accountable. I can't imagine how many incidents aren't fortunate enough to be caught on video. Even when they are, they get off while the tax payers pick up the tab. Like I said, it's a symptom of employing the lowest common denominators for law enforcement.
You’ve seen this first hand huh?
Obviously that's a tricky thing to do, like lots of things in poli sci. Not an exact science. Not really a science even imo
But you can ask these questions-
How many countries had a giant Civil War, the bloodiest in their history, over slavery? How many countries have states or provinces that still celebrate symbols of the side that lost?
How many countries have taken as much territory as we have in the past 300 years in as short a period as we have and had to reconcile with the fact we took someone's land as we continue to live here?
How many countries have dealt with as much racial tension/violence in the past 50 years as America?
Why is the U.S. #1 in the world in terms of prison population and incarceration rate?
Why did Donald Trump win an elecion on building a wall to keep an invading horde of Mexicans out?
Why did we separate children at the boarder from their families?
100%
I spent a few months in Ecuador and the police work spends time on violent crime. They don't operate on a system of quotas and tickets. Sure, the crime rates are higher, but it's a poor country. There's not an issue of police brutality on the same scale we deal with for our comparable poverty levels.
Ecuador?
The UN is asking the government to look into police brutality it's so bad.
Have you even read the human watch articles on there?
Try again......
Prison rate is due to crime laws passed by Biden.
France had a civil war also and at one time held vast areas.
Britain had a civil war called the revolution and held almost everything including Hong Kong, india, and africa.
Relativity.
This is without the element of profiling.
All lives matter less out there. The disparities are still abundant here... you know... the greatest country on earth.
You don't stay great by constantly avoiding improvement.
Whoa, man I didn't vote for him first time around. And I think it is well-established that just about everyone 'serving' in the Congress/Presidency is enriched on the back end. It's awful
We lost the Vietnam war but we have plenty of monuments and praise for the veterans that served there. Do you run around calling them losers? Are you also saying the US is the only country with blood or on their hands through history? You know how those slaves came to be? Sold by their own people. Mexico is a sh**hole that funnels drugs and criminals across the border constantly. Why is a wall to contain this illegal activity such a bad thing? You claim to be a person of “culture” but I think that’s just code for being weak. I bet you never served in any military service capacity and probably any travel abroad has been to some resort or tourist destination. As much as you claim to think you know you know little of the real world. You stay inside a bubble and comment on things you know absolutely NOTHING about.
I'm not sure how drawing that comparison between the politician you despise the most in the world makes Trump look better.
Congratulations, Trump is no better than Obama. Appreciate you pointing that out.
