4:15 I have also said the exact same thing. The other nations of the world are not the US, even Canada. But barraged with their 'news' these days (over the internet), people can't help but assume a false parity that simply doesn't exist between their unique contexts.
They all may know the historical differences, but then they ride right over that and take what's infront of them. Like crime in my country, police may be rude, some may be corrupt, but we don't have officers choking people to death, and very rarely shooting them. So right there the fundamental trigger for the protests and riots, does not apply. Absolutely you can say "every country has its problems", but it doesn't mean they are all the same in scope or severity. It is entirely counter productive to attack (figuratively or literally) people, groups, and government bodies as an attempt to try to solve a somewhere else's problem. You have to try to solve the problems facing you. What people should have been doing is "hey, I want our government to show them how to handle policing with fewer deaths or injuries". Not necessarily that specifically, but protest for a tangible goal that will improve the situation percieved as undesireable.
