>So just stop it. Police "gung-ho" attitudes are not a US problem.
They are not a US-only occurrence. But they very much are a US problem (and a relative rarity elsewhere).
>And it's not limited to the US.
No, like incarceration is not limited to the US. But the US has 25% of the world's prison population for just 4% of its total population.
Something occurring elsewhere doesn't mean anything. Most things will happen elsewhere too, even mass shootings.
But some places are the undisputed capitals of those things, by a far margin, and instead of putting one's head in the sand, people should acknowledge the problem.
>What IS different however, is that the odds of anyone actually successfully mounting a legal challenge to such an officer afterwards are WAY higher in the US.
