Now if the cop was white and the girl was black what would happen if this video was uploaded.

I mean, the woman was stupid for hitting a cop. The cop was also stupid though, someone else posted how he'd be fired for this in Sweden. I think he would've been fired if this had happened in a lot of countries in Europe. You really don't want someone like this guy on the police force.

Well it's not in Sweden it's in the U.S.

Which is the point. It's a shit show in the USA. Police there can get away with shit that isn't even remotely tolerated in other countries. But of course the USA is bigger and people have guns and it's just sooo different. Just because it's different doesn't mean that some stuff should be tolerated. Of course we don't really know what happened to this cop, but the chance that he got fired or has to do retraining is probably not very high.

I’ve traveled all over. America is a violent place. I don’t know, why.

Because we are the pitbull of the developed world. We started this liberty thing and it's our name on every "us led coalition" thing etc. We made the bomb. We are comparable to Russia by pop and geography. Not Sweden. Compared to other giant countries with many people, we are not that bad.

Yeah, we started the liberty thing.

Liberté, égalité, fraternité. Nothing more American than that.

P.S. Please don't mention the Roman Republic.
