Where are the police powerless? I’m scared shitless of getting on a cops bad side lest they find their baggie cocaine on me or something.


South Africa, Somalia, much of Mexico, northern Myanmar, much of Syria, Sudan, the parts of Ukraine that are occupied by Russia… lots of places in the world, where the "official" government doesn't have real control.


We’re talking about America in this thread right? I could name fictional countries if you wanted, too.


There is no universal law that guarantees eternal order and prosperity for America. If it could happen over there, it could happen over here.


That’s a really good imagination you have, I guess, but that’s not even close to the situation today. If anything, cops have too much power.
