NUTS and afraid if their own shadow are typical arguments for fools who have no argument. Hold the police accountable for what?  A cop car travels at 90 miles and hour and is 10 miles away. A bullet travels as 1000 feet per second and is 20 feet away. Is it your intent to hold the police responsible for not getting there in time?

Your argument is a bumper sticker that has zero thought put into it. Your anecdotal evidence of where you lived once has some value, but not detail so all it offers is your opinion. Asia has been ravaged by dictators again and again so clearly you are not talking about some places I know of.
