The US sees 20k to 30k murders a year. What are the murder rates in those countries? How many cops a year are murdered in those countries compared to the US? How many guns are on the streets in those countries? Guns change the equation dramatically when it comes to policing.

The US has a violence problem. Period. It always has. This includes police as well, but u cannot act like police operate in a vacuum. Everyone likes to pin all the problems on police but nobody has any viable solutions on how to address the issue other than saying police suck. The end result of all this has been people violently resisting arrest more often less competent people wanting to be police or stay on as a cop, while funding for police is now being diverted. So you'll have less competent police with less money facing an increasingly armed population with record numbers of felons being let out of prison early at a time the US is facing massive economic upheavel, and with a media that continually incites hatred of them along with racial hatred overall.

That is all going to make the problem of violence in America(the real problem), worse.

US has a multi-ethnic problem. Swizerland has more weapons per capita and has no issues with crime. The problem is the people with stone age level of cognitive development.

Well the US also has the descendants of ex slaves making up 13% of its population. Granted they were slaves a couple centuries ago but you'd never know that listening to our media, who never misses an opportunity to pick the scabs off old wounds and pour salt on them.

The end result is gonna be a break up of the US, possibly along racial lines, which at this point suits me fine. Anything is better than the shit were dealing with now.

Spot on. Most people have innate behavioral matrix which brings up patterns that have worked in previous generations. About 90% of europeans were farmers and 9% professional merchants / soldiers etc. while 1% were royals etc. The thing is, in europe everything needed long term planning. When to plant stuff, how to regulate your resources etc. while in africa it has been 100% of pure opportunistic savagery. They gather into gangs and prowl on the streets just like their primitive ancestors. They are incompatible with modern world and obsolete to maintain it modes of production. They consume from a closed feedback loop without putting anything back into the system. Europe is e.g. soon in ruins. Sweden has 25% immigrants and they will lose control soon.

It's almost like species evolve for their environment and its particular qualities.

99% of people in the US are descendents of ex-slaves. Don't imagine you don't have that legacy in your genes and culture too.

By great great father was bought from an orphanage in the 1910s by a minister so he could stick him down the mines and take his wages. I'd like to say I don't see the mark of that harsh world on the personalities and instincts of my family but its simply not the case.

I 100% believe black people do have that as a problem but so do most other people from lower class stock. At the end of the day in a tough world its the tough, it was the selfish people who survived and that does now jar with the nice comfortable world of the modern West.

"99% of people in the US are descendants of slaves" is completely laughable unless you are going back to the dawn of man which is equally laughable to include in this argument

It's a good thing that we despise the lower classes for being deplorable today.

I think the descendants of ex-slaves here was meant as a euphemism for blacks (e.g. 13%).

The violence looks celebrated to me compared to other cultures, exported through cultural exports like Hollywood.

Outside of the US we're just not that interested in fighting. Nearly every yank film has fighting. It's a bit weird.

Sorry but I just think of spaghetti westerns. hasn't really moved on much.
