Every president since FDR has broken laws. So please, don't go on that train.
Also, America has bigger populations then most low crime nations. So there's nothing against what you said. In fact, you prove my point.

I did. But you won't read it.
Evil isn't always bad evil. There's also good evil. Evil that's used to do good. There's no law that says you can't use evil for good.
There are good police forces around the world - don't judge all cops by the actions of a few American cops who have inferiority complexes.

What about all those BIGGER countries with LOWER crime rates. Oops, one sentence and I just shut down your whole argument.

Your assuming I want the government watching. Quite contrary. What I've repeatedly said that you lack the common sense to comprehend is that I want the observations in the public domain. I want the people open to see such things. The government should monitor, but what they are monitoring should be available to the public.
maybe I can put it in a simple enough sense: Big Brother should be the masses. Along with the cia, and fbi, the people should be an organization. They should be able to investigate anything the government is. That way, when the government finds something, it can release it, and have the masses decide the verdict.
Is that to hard to understand?

No, there would still be courts. They would be the final decider... It's there profession.
There is no dismantling in what I said, only adding on to.
Also, I do not want the government monitoring everything if the people don't know what it is. You see, to be merging two different things.
I've said it time after time again. The people should know what the government is doing and be able to see it.
This video is an example of what I hate.

Isn't that what King George said the your precious founding fathers? It wasn't reality to have men rule themselves? hmm.
Also, by all means, if you can find a nation besides India and China with a bigger population, show me. Last I checked, we're the 3rd most populous in the world.
Case closed for that particular statement, you were wrong... Or rather right, but wrong in there being other nations more populous with lower crime.
More people = more crime.

Nope. I didn't know. I was assuming you were right. It thought you might be wrong, and if you are indeed saying you are wrong, we come full circle as I and ALLLL the way back to the original topic: Police brutality isn't new and has always been at the same level, but is higher in America due to a bigger population. The increase in big brother's watchful eye will lower it though, as all misconducts will be seen.
I have said my mind, I remain correct.
Good day sir!
