American facts

Sure do. But I don't rely on brief, random "facts" about countries and then draw comparisons to unrelated countries that have nothing to do with the United States.

I'm still scratching my head over your China reference. lol

I guess the U.S. should take some lessons from China?

Not sure but I think the US is deeply indebted to China so maybe they could take some financial lessons from them. As for policing I say no.

1. Get some stts from "related countries" (whatever that might mean)

2. Practise your reading more and watch out for splinters. The reference is in the OP.

3. Good guess.

I will work on my reading and you work on your spelling 🙂

I know all about your OP. It was underwhelming.
Police states always have lower crime and less violence than free states. Communist nations are not known for their accurate stats. Just fyi.
I think I'll stick with my country despite its flaws.
Hey... our cops ONLY kill 1000 people every year compared with China's historic one child policy and elimination of how many daughters? Yea...that's a country I'd like to live in.

We could use some financial lessons from them. That's about it. Shame on us.

They, the Chinese, seem to be in a bit of an economic downturn, not unlike a few other nations. Wonder if they'll "call" the loan?

Of course there is room for improvement in just about everything our country does. Never is it ok for a cop to execute a person - whether (s)he is innocent or not. No brainer here. Treat that cop like the common criminal that (s)he is.

While it is a sad when just one person is killed by a police officer for any reason, you can't just assume that it ...[text shortened]... ves, to do good in this world and maybe, just maybe our country would be in much better shape...

praise the lord and pass the ammunition
