If this refers to the US: Is this sarcastic?
Does the name Edward Snowden ring a bell, and the total surveillance state programs in the US, against US citizens, he revealed?
-the perpetual drive of FBI etc to have e.g. phones decrypted, or have companies install back doors? (e.g. Bernardino)?
- the last administrations systematic programs against ‘unpleasant’ journalists?
- black sites and places like Guantanamo that you could just disappear to?
- civil forfeiture laws that allow the police, without any process, to take your personal property, without any wrongdoing on your part?
- how many people are killed by police in those other countries (at all), and also, how many times does this lead to a prosecution of the officer in question?
