The USA can learn a LOT from other democracies.
There are several fundamental errors in the way Justice is done in the USA, starting with the election of Prosecutors, and the appointment of Judges by politicians. These have broken the Separation of Powers in the USA.
Additionally, several important mechanisms / rules are simply not enforced. Most importantly, the Obstruction of Justice rules. In a real democracy, no politician comments on an ongoing case, because to do so would be Obstruction of Justice. The recent antics of Johnson calling the prosecution of Trump into question, should land him in prison VERY quickly if that Law were upheld. That is again an failure to properly Separate the Powers of government.
Same with the way government officials treat summons to appear before a Congressional committee. Refusing to testify, in my country, means immediate imprisonment up to such a time that that person is prepared to testify. Which is again a failure to Separate the Powers of government.
The USA has been sliding towards dictatorship, where the Executive is all-powerful, for some time now. Time to stop it.

@JohnSmith-fq7hj I certainly am. That was federal overreach if I ever saw it, exactly the type that the 2nd amendment was intended for.
It was overreach because a). it went against the express wishes of the local authorities. b). it went against the express wishes of the state authorities. c). it only made things worse. d). the violence was over the second the feds left. e). the troops were unidentifiable. f). the troops abducted innocent bystanders. g). the troops molested journalists. h). they operated not only to protect federal property, but were confronting protesters a long way from them. i). they misused "less lethal" weapons to cause serious and permanent injuries, and even death.
Don't come with the "law and order" and "they started" sh*t. Open you eyes. The dictator did this only so he could score in your books, not to help solve the situation. Otherwise he would have waited for an invitation from the major or governor. Or are you just another bigot that denies certain people their 1st amendment rights? That it is OK to murder innocent people of a certain race?
If so, shame on you.
Instead of shooting at the protesters, you should talk with them, listen to their grievances, and try to come up with sensible solutions. Because if you think there is no systemic racism in the USA, you are blind. If you think their plight is their own fault, you are a cruel monster. If you think the racism doesn't need to be rooted out, you are a selfish bigot.
In the BLM case, Law and Order is not what is needed. It just keeps the lid on the pot. But as long as there is a fire under it, the pressure is going to build until something breaks. The stronger the lid, the bigger the resulting explosion.
Strong investment in good education for all is the only long-term solution.
