Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

Oh man. If I'd had had any attorney for most if it, could've helped. I eventually got some help from some law-firm intern. He rang the police up after the jail thing, after they had sent me the accusation of vandalism as well. Based on that we asked "surely you have video of the crime" and I had put in GDPR information request as technically the video on me was under it as well and I had a right to it. The intern said "he's never heard the cops being so weird and awkward".
Basically yeah. It's sort of weirdly paradoxical a bit, but I definitely agree. As in I would say our police are better trained and do generally behave well. (And only used their guns like once in 10 years, although there's a massive population difference, it's still a magnitude or two lower than in the US.)
Like because you've had these problems and you've actually had civil rights movements and also basically the "real" American spirit, as in freedom liberty equality (which is what the French have on their money btw) is at least chased in the US.
In Finland it's just sort of apathetic and no-one "wants to make a fuss" so I get literally no attention to these horrid miscarriages of justice. My mom lowkey victim-blamed me for them essentially torturing me. It's just impossible to convey the simplistic Finnish take on these things. But if we don't pay attention to bad justice at all even if it doesn't happen that much, then authoritarianism will be on the rise.
And don't even get me started on the racist thing. I've gotten into social trouble for pointing out to adult people that perhaps using the n-word isn't the most politically correct thing anymore. But once I did that and this elderly lady got so fking mad at me. I was driving a taxi, and she kept using it so liberally. I didn't comment, just refrained from using it. Which made her (80-something) go crazy, then I explained i just don't personally want to use the word and she started demanding I say it "call them what they are". Almost hitting me from the backseat.
Anyway that's genuinely one example out of hundreds. The shitty racist bullshit "jokes" I had to listen as a kid. Pfff. Our racism is different but it's very much there even if the laws don't have as much systemic racism in them as the US with its history.
Eh, I've had wilder weekends. It's not the experience itself which hurts me so, it's the fact people think I'm exaggerating or making fuss out of nothing and just "trying to blame others the junkie fuck" and I say junkie because in Finland even if you just smoke weed, you're considered a lowlife junkie no-one wants to associate with, despite their weekend rituals consisting of getting black-out drunk and vomiting and fighting. For decades now.
So I'd say while you may have more problems you also definitely acknowledge at least most of them, unlike here where we might have less but acknowledge none.
