This. So many Europeans act with superiority because “at least we don’t shoot kill them” when looking at US police brutality, but e.g. we ignore how those cops in US mostly use Glocks made in Austria, making us part of the problem (and making a profit out of it). Or if we look at the deaths numbers, we ignore the many deaths the “protection” of our borders cause.
He’s already doing this. We worry too much about “oh how bad would the backlash be?” but we are already heading for X,com-powered fascism, what’s to lose?
