- jimbob45 3y agoWe have the most ethnically diverse population in the world. Blacks commit more than half of all US crime despite being a tenth of the population. We’re a gigantic state with both the least restrictive gun laws and the most permissive immigration laws in the world. No comparable nation not named China drives nearly as much as we do. To say our policing systems are bad is a smear on the hard-working men and women in those systems. The US simply has challenges that European nations do not have. You can (and maybe should) debate whether or not those challenges should be present in the first place but blaming those challenges on the police is just mean.
