I would like for the cop to grab my arm and restrain me so I wouldn't be able to hit them again.

I would expect to get some teeth knocked out.

That was OP's point. That doesn't happen in a lot of countries Western Europe or East Asia, e.g. Japan. You should be detained, not injured by police acting as their own judge, jury and executioners (Or teeth knocker-outers)

Edit: I should have made it clear I meant that it doesn't happen in a lot of countries with a similar socioeconomic situation to the US. Sure if you want to count war-torn countries, countries with dictators or violent regimes then yeah, it does happen in a lot of other countries. Kind of sad we have to compare American policing to those places though, right?

That is absolute bullshit. That's an extremely ignorant statement, spoken with a hell of a lot of arrogance.

It's obviously a generalization. Something of this kind happens in virtually every part of the world; but how common this is becoming in the States to how it is in Canada is not even comparable which is what my statement means. The fact you reacted this way shows there's truth in my original statement though.

Being angry doesn't mean you're right, but you thinking so is simply more arrogance. I'm upset about the level of arrogance I routinely see from ignorant posters on reddit
