Yet another item to add to my ever growing list of reasons NOT to visit Murica.

Believe it or not, you're the one being racist now - by painting all of the US and all Americans with the same brush.

You don't hear about all the people that are perfectly fine folks and all the places that aren't insane because that makes boring news. So the only news you hear about are the whackjobs and bottom-feeders like this.

Don't make the same mistake of judging an entire country by a partial set of facts because that puts your feet on the first steps of the same path the people in this article walked.

Thinking about it from the tourist perspective, why go someplace that may ruin your trip with socially accepted hatred on display.

Absolutely. America should just be more civilized, like the UK and keep all their police killings done out of sight, and don’t you worry! Just because you’re 7 times more likely to be killed by police interactions in UK by being brown, it’s not racism! They investigated themselves, and it’s all fine.

Perhaps American police agencies should start investigating themselves more and the papers should 100% just believe all their findings.
