.@NRO won't tell you this, but Germany, Scandinavia have bigger governments, deeper/broader welfare states–and milder cops & penal systems.

Still, the
@NRO's policy response of "radical transparency" for US police is a v good one. (Their faith in tech fixes however is naive.) -
@ChMadar "...even the most radical reformers do not propose to dissolve police departments as such."#wellactually ... -
@ChMadar Agree tech faith is misplaced & while I'm for more transparency even with what we have-nobody is ever held accountable.

@TheAmishDude @KevinNR@NRO Then why do the large welfare states of Western Europe & other peers have mild cops & low incarceration rates? -
-
@TheAmishDude You don't know what an incarceration rate is, do you. Here are some facts. http://www.prisonpolicy.org/global/ -
@ChMadar The term is misused. Number of incarcerations is comparable to many EU countries. -
@TheAmishDude Oh come on! You want to make up your own "personal" meanings for widely-used words, go ahead, but don't waste my time. -
@ChMadar Then take my point. It's the sentence length that effects that statistic, not arrests.

@KevinNR Certainly one of the things govt does (legit monopoly etc). But why is our govt so particularly violent compared to peer nations?
