Why have police officers gotten so violent in the United States in recent years?
Favourite answer:There is no simple answer to your question, but the first place to start is by studying American History. You cannot ignore the issue of slavery as it has played a significant role in the shaping of the country and its attitudes. Pay special attention to the division of powers between the federal and state governments. Then have a look at the US Constitution. In the late 50's and early 60's people had marches for civil rights and I do remember seeing in states like Alabama the police siccing dogs on the marchers. African Americans needed to have police escorts to go to "whites only" high schools. In fact RFK and LBJ used federal civil rights to make sure that the African Americans could attend the schools.
As for the riots you see on TV do keep in mind that you are looking at what is happening in just a few city blocks. Most of the people who live in cities like Los Angeles or Portland, Oregon go about their daily business and are not directly impacted by the rioting. You also have to keep in mind that there is a difference between rioting and protesting and the people who live in the aforementioned cities say that the rioters are not locals.
With the current climate in the US as a Canadian I certainly wouldn't want to visit the US.

Isn’t it hilarious the US government says I can’t download TikTok?
I can do what I want. I can ignore executive orders as they aren’t law. There are ways around the ban. I’ve already downloaded it and use it.

Is it inevitable that Australia will end up communist?
The capitalists have traditionally not done well against the communists. Australia's involvement in Vietnam was a horror show and resulted in a catastrophic loss. North Korea, with only the help of China and the Soviet Union, effectively held off the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Turkey, Australia, The Philippines, New Zealand, Thailand, Ethiopia, Greece, France, Colombia, Belgium, South Africa, The Netherlands and Luxembourg. That's kind of embarrassing, especially considering they had support from Denmark, Italy, West Germany, India, Israel, Norway, Sweden, Taiwan, Japan, Pakistan, Cuba, El Salvador and Spain.
If the communists go after Australia, we might not be able to stop them.
