    U.S. Confidence in Police About Average for Wealthy Countries

    78% of Americans have confidence in their local police depts.

    Policing standards have become a high-profile issue in the U.S. amid widespread protests over the failure to indict two white police officers in the deaths of unarmed black men. Compared with residents of other generally high-income and democratic countries in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), Americans' confidence in their local police falls in about the middle of the pack.

    Thirteenth place. Surprising, considering how "exceptional" the US is purported to be.

    Ever heard of rolfing?

    That's the poor mans police brutality! LOL!

    I live in such a tough town, that the main mode of transportation is by ambulance!

    More broadly, poor people. It's always the weakest segments of society who suffer the most from police state policies.
