The fact that this is upvoted so much speaks to the ignorance of people on this topic , especially Europeans who think their countries police forces would perform better in similar environments . The US has single cities with many times the murder rate , violent crime rate , rate of gun violence , and vastly different socioeconomical problems than most European countries with many times the population . The police are different because the climate and the problems with policing are different issues altogether . No European force would ever survive in places like Chicago or Baltimore . There are hundreds of cities like that across the US . <| sep |> That ' d be hilarious <| sep |> At this point , it ' s like the Clintonistas are trying to convince us all that she won the football game by kicking 10 Field Goals because Trump only scored 5 Touchdowns . That ' s how the rules work .
