Wait, what? You don’t know if this is a Western European thing but you just took that “from the rest of the world”? I guess I could do the same: (1) I’m not from America (the majority here), (2) I haven’t experienced bully police asking for id, so (3) I’ll just assume that that’s an American thing. How funny!
- some_random 3y agoAs a white American I also haven't really had any bad experiences with cops, it's something commonly referred to as "privilege". If you'd like to read about other peoples experiences with police in Western Europe, here's the start of that thread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36372948 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36372948
- avgcorrection 3y agoOh, so you were referring to a story from a place in Western Europe, concretely. You see I was dumb enough to go by your comment itself > what I assume you mean by "around the world", since that's almost always what's meant Were you just say “I’ll assume Western Europe based on nothing”. > If you'd like to read about other peoples experiences with police in Western Europe What do you mean “other”? I haven’t said where I’m from.
