If this refers to the US: Is this sarcastic? Does the name Edward Snowden ring a bell, and the total surveillance state programs in the US, against US citizens, he revealed? -the perpetual drive of FBI etc to have e.g. phones decrypted, or have companies install back doors? (e.g. Bernardino)? - the last administrations systematic programs against ‘unpleasant’ journalists? - black sites and places like Guantanamo that you could just disappear to? - civil forfeiture laws that allow the police, without any process, to take your personal property, without any wrongdoing on your part? - how many people are killed by police in those other countries (at all), and also, how many times does this lead to a prosecution of the officer in question? Etc.
