Considering that the US has full-on rioting and yet the response is tepid compared to China's, LOL! If China had this much shit going on, they'd be rolling in the tanks.

I don't know how fucking brainwashed you need to be to not see the hypocrisy. And "our cops aren't as bad as the chinese cops" doesn't invalidate the hypocrisy.

This is a great example of double-think, which is itself a form of brainwashing.

The U.S. also imprisons the largest % of its population of anyone in the world.

Which has nothing to do with the discussion at hand on every conceivable level. However, it's also not so much that the US is simply arresting more people per capita than it is a matter that we lock people away forever; it's a system that's been encoded so hard that when Americans hear that somebody is sentenced to 10 or 20 years they're suggesting it should instead be 50 or life.

The U.S. also kills a lot of civilians with errant military strikes.

Not sure why you're conflating domestic and international policy >_>

However, I'll admit that on some levels it's depressing that the US will riot over a suspect killed by a botched police takedown yet a drone can kill a wedding procession overseas and nobody takes to the streets. And we have riots over cops arresting somebody yet nothing for the NSA's mass spying.
