It makes me wonder why so much focus and attention is given to alleged abuses of police power in the United States, to the point that certain incidents in the US also garner protests in Europe, along with various comments from international citizens criticizing America. I could understand if they believe in the ideals of freedom, life, etc. that is shared by American culture, but do they never take the time to look at their own countries and see how much worse they have it?
Sure, deaths from police interaction make headlines but there are a lot of other things European cops can do that American cops would be extremely less likely to get away with. For example, an American cop wouldn't be able to legally arrest someone on the sole reason of them making a "homophobic remark" (or at least they would have to find another reason) due to the First Amendment.
