Both China and Russia run this kind of anti-us proganda. Its not true, the police in the US will treat you the same way that the police in other countries such as Britain treat their citizens.
- nicolas_t 10y agoAgain, I'm European. I look at police shootings statistics and see a huge difference between European countries and the US (55 shootings in the last 24 years in UK compared to 59 shootings in the first 24 days in US). It's an order of magnitude higher and the difference cannot be explained by population. So, yes I'm much more afraid of the police in the US, they are demonstrably more violent. That doesn't mean that China and Russia are not dictatures, they are. It also doesn't mean that the police in those countries are not scary. They are scary and they are corrupted and will shake down locals (but rarely foreigners because it's too risky for them).
