The US Politics |OT|

Reading through the last 50 posts here on the tread, I just went from wtf? to WTF?????????

Seriously America, what the actual fuck? I can't even find words to describe what I feel, I think Permalite's post above is stating it pretty well though.

Police violence is a global issue, but in USA it is more complex due to how police operates.

It really isnt. Most places it rarely happends, and when it does, they are charged for it.
Its mainly a USA issue.

Watch this:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_IN4Z1IpOg

Watch from 5mins on.
He talks about how cops in the US, treat you, vs how cops in germany (europe in general) treat you.

Short story:
He got pulled over, and hes thinking "oh no, cops, Im a blank man, here we go again".
The cop is like "I notice your plate is hanging lose, with just 1 screw and is about to fall off"
Hes like "oh sh*t we didnt know, we ll fix it right away sir, no problem"  (no ticket, no warnings nothing)
--> what happend was cop asked him if he wanted help with it? and the cop offered, saying they had time for it. They carry tools around in car.
The law enforcer, helped him get the plate secured, and and wished him a good day and drove off after.

Thats how most cops in europe are.
Vastly differnt than how cops in the US act.

I think that's due to selection and training are much tighter and longer.

For instance here in Luxembourg, you need to pass 5 tests: Fitness, Intelligence, Logic, Psychology and Psychotechnic (stress resistance, ability to stay calm and composed, immunity to monotony) before you can even get admitted to police school, and a final test after 4 years of training before you can even hit the streets. And they have to redo the Psy tests every year, if they fail they get relegated to office work.

By contrast, I know that at least some states have only 3 months of training for their cops with just basic screenings. That just doesn't cut it.
