Your impression of policing in the USA is a caricature of reality. B) and C) are particularly offensive to make as unsupported claims. Policing in the USA is handled at a state level, and the policing product varies widely between localities.

Bad policing in the USA gets attention from around the world. Good policing in the USA gets none. Your comments betray a deep ignorance of policing challenges in the USA.

As a word of advice, commenting on domestic political issues of foreign nations often causes one to appear quite foolish, due to a lack of understanding the constituent factors.

US resident here. Policing in the US does vary by municipality, which is part of the problem.

Regardless, policing in the US is broken. I live in one of the wealthiest counties in the nation and our police still kill people with disturbing frequency.
