IDK I just had a overwhelming sense they were in the UK, which is like... way worse.
You are 66 times more likely to be killed by a police officer if you are in the US compared to in the UK.

Oh we're talking about police killings suddenly? I thought we were talking about civil rights?
The comment was talking about things being Orwellian. Is it not Orwellian to have police killing many, many civilians?
There's other things.
For example, the UK is the most surveiled populace over any whole country. Which is neat.
