    I mean yeah but is no one gonna mention that you have to live in a weird shithole where the special forces run your door in to shoot whoever because some weirdo can dial a phone number?

      We, Americans, don’t mention it because we know. Also, that is addressed in another part of the comments, I know the structure of the comments makes that hard to know.

      What are we going to do about the police? Not a thing.

      This would happen in most western countries.

      You telling me they don’t respond with force to threats of terrorist attacks or bombs?

          They are responding to the scene of a bomb.

          That’s not something you discuss, that’s something you dominate until the scene is safe.

            You think it’s acceptable for innocent people being threatened by a bomb to be harmed by the police who respond because they need to “dominate” the situation? What even is the point of the police when they hurt the people they’re sent to protect?

              In this hypothetical, they are there to find a bomb, and bomber. Collateral damage is to be minimized, obviously. Proper training is what’s needed for that, which many police forces across the world lack.

              A negotiator is not what you send to defuse a bomb or disable a terrorist.
