Just curious... are you American?
"Having said all of that, I do not want to see us become self-indulgent with pity. There are 300 million people in the U.S. There are tens of thousands of cops. You could run a video like this everyday and statistically there still wouldn't be much incompetence or corruption going on."
Because it's mind-boggling to me that you don't think there is incompetence and corruption.
- benbenolson 11y agoHe wasn't saying that there is no incompetence or corruption; he said that it's not statistically probable for you to run across a case like this if considering all cases in the U.S. The United States is a very large country, and I've seen a lot of people give it flak for incidents like this that happen here. Each and every state has different laws about incarceration, and the cultures of each of the states varies very widely. Pushing a stereotype on someone from the United States is like doing the same for someone from Europe-- not only are there many different subdivisions of Europe with completely different laws and cultures, but the United States is also a larger landmass than Europe, and lends itself to a lot of diversity.
