I upvote this, because you probably mean in this specific case and in this specific country.

But my personal experience with the police here where I live is *very different* from the stories I hear from the US.

Remember the stories you hear are outliers the normal is different here, but if you don't watch the local norm can change

Yes, I was talking about an article describing a specific incident in a specific country.

But I agree that there’s a real problem with the police in the US, one that most US citizens seem not to be able to see clearly (except for people in black neighborhoods, who know what’s up with the cops—but the rest of the country hasn’t been listening to them). I was born and raised in the US, but I’ve been living outside the country for a few years, and the cop problem is one reason I don’t think I’ll be moving back.
