The Rules

Posts must be:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, ableist, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

Mobs are easier to form when your entire country is the size of a single US state and everyone who wants to participate in the country is within a day of driving to the same location. Your people aren't less willing to be fucked over by the government. It's just easier for the small percentage of you who will riot to meet up.

And most countries don't have a police force more heavily armed than a small country's military.

Decades of no accountability and poor hiring practices have made the police thugs against their citizen peers. Funded by the have nots, while protecting the haves and themselves.
