    USA is one of the few barbaric countries left. Bad public education, too many police officers with near to no training, high poverty. This is how you increase crime.

    How about we just don’t execute people, even if we know they did it. Life in prison sucks harder.

    This is how people get radicalized.

    Then again, at least in the states in question, that’s probably part of the intent. Doing authoritarian shit in the name of “safety” is way easier when you have a bogeyman, regardless of whether or not you yourself had a pivotal role in the creation of said bogeyman.
