It's almost like they're justifying their increased budgets and surveillance even though crime has been on a steady decline (covid spike notwithstanding) for the last 50 years. Those same gangbangers exist in countries that don't have the same level of police shootings, and they haven't overrun the government (even though bad guys don't listen to gun laws and can buy them anywhere, as police tell me, so that can't be the case) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] fustigation769curtain@lemmy.world -3 points 2 years ago You're living in a fantasy land, sorry. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Spaceballstheusername@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 child) Can you give me an example where this is true.
