Are you suggesting Paphitis these people are Democrats; or is this respect for "Law and Order"?
Character assassination will not solve any problems, accountability (in America) does.
I’m not sure what you are getting at RW.
America is the gold standard when it comes to democracy. There is no country on the planet that is more democratic, and free. It is more democratic than any country in the EU, and yes it is more democratic than Canada. It is more democratic than Cyprus and Greece. And more democratic than Australia and Switzerland. In all these places, democracy is just window dressing. In America, democracy is the real deal.
You can do what you want in America And you have the right to bear arms. You just don’t have the right to hurt someone unless in self defence.
The police in America are doing their jobs and are defenders of the American democracy.
Here, we have had the military on our streets for a very long time supporting the police to bash citizens with Batons, pepper spray and rubber bullets. You would think we are in Greece or Cyprus during the Coup or Greek Junta.
But it’s ok. We have a Covid Pandemic!
