- dkdk8283 6y agoEast asia is a police state: have you seen how they treated black people? If east asia is the model you want the USA to follow I’m afraid of the politics your generation will bring.

- freeflight 6y agoLast time I checked no other country locks up more people, at higher rates, in prisons it won't even let the UN inspect [0], than the US does. In no other country is one as likely to end up in prison as in the US. Neither can I think of many countries where police are more heavily armed, literally militarized [1], while killing people at rates that can only be estimated, as there are no state or federal statistics on that. Still doesn't stop some US Americans from seeing the "police state" everywhere, except at home. Even after over ten thousand people were arrested, thousands injured, many maimed, protesting against exactly that police state and its violence that disproportionately affects black people and other minorities.
