Comment on People often say "Don't talk to the police", but what if a friend, neighbor, or a loved one gets kidnapped and you want to help the victim?

  Yes that’s the point. I’m replying to one one who thinks this is only an issue in the US.

    They asked if cops in the us are that bad and you responded with an article about a Canadian city.

      Most of the reports I see about the police being awful seem to come from the US.

      They made an incorrect assumption that a lot of us are correcting.

      What’s your issue exactly?

      What I believe Wildbus8979 is implying is trying to get the person they responded to to understand is “if cops are this bad outside the US, and US cops are worse, then yes US cops can be that bad.” Could they have clarified or spelled that out more? Sure. Could you have thought out your understanding of their words a little more than your initial reaction that they weren’t discussing the US? Sure.

        I think wildbus8979 was deflecting by saying other country's cops are bad too when the US's cops is uniquely bad.

        ICE is literally kidnapping people off the streets and disappearing them in countries they've never been right now.
