They’re comfortable saying this because the US doesn’t have the rule of law, as evidenced by laws not applying to police.

    you link to a page with convicted police numbering in the tens in a nation of 340 million people, with a police force on the order of a million. I wouldn't believe you in a second if you said that the police commit crimes at a rate of 0.0001 per capita. That's absurd. You're basically verifying the claim that the police are not held accountable for breaking the law. Great work. If that was your intent, please do more than post a link, and elucidate your opinion in the future please, if it wasn't your intent, well, next time just please don't post, it's not a useful contribution to the discussion in this forum.

      The comment I responded to didn't have any data. You don't have any data, not for the US and not for any imaginary country that is better than the US at holding police accountable.

      Once again, Care to share comparative data with other countries? I will.

      There is no utopia, all developed countries are more-or-less the same here.

      Thanks for the high-brow discussion and critical thinking that HN is famous for lol.

      You posted a comment without critical thinking or data and ended with a personal. Great job on the privileged angry thinking!
