      Spot the American.

      Somehow the civilizations of every other western country don’t have this mentality, and magically their police kill less people.

      Weird how having a mindset of being under constant threat and that the populace is the enemy result in reactions of lethal force more often.

      I’ve been caught in a bomb scare, guns would have done fuck all when there was a massive police presence that the trains were stopped and the shut down a whole part of a city. In fact a gun would have made me more likely to be killed than going the fuck home.
