We had 159 POCs die in police custody since 1990, most of them never properly investigated or anybody punished for it. One specifically horrendous case the police pretended Oury Jalloh set himself on fire while bound hands and feet To a bed and police was acquitted of any wrong doing.
I understand the impulse but reacting with 'oh we are doing ok compared to a country that is fully out of control' is most definitely not the best take here because that makes it look like we should not be worried when there is plenty wrong here too.
