      Yeah, because cops from other continents, such as North America, would famously NEVER be needlessly violent towards black people… 🙄

        Well the thing is, this isn’t just a thing in Spain, or just a thing in Germany, or just a thing in France, or just a thin in Italy, or Croatio, or Hungary, or Austria, the Netherlands, or Belgium or Poland…

        It is a specifically european problem in the context of the EU, as opposed to just a problem in a single member state.

        That doesn’t deny that it is also a problem on other continents.

          I would say police brutality does not really knows border, a truly international habit. And actually Europe, at least some places are rather less into it than it’s the case around the world.

          “But what about the Americans” is literally the weakest argument in this context.

          In most contexts it would be a whataboutism, yes, but not this specific one.

          Your comment consisted only of characterizing it as a specifically European problem, which my reply is a valid refutation of.

          Police violence against minorities is happening right now in our cities. It’s not just an American problem

          Nobody’s claiming otherwise.

              “This happens in all of Europe, not just Spain” would have been better, if that’s what you meant to say.

              Your transparent and instrumental deliberate misinterpretation of my words is your concern, not mine.

              I’m not a mind reader. I replied to the most likely intended meaning based on the words used. If you wanted to say something else, you should have used other words.
