Yeah, we have to respect the myriad sovereign countries and the different approaches they may have to law enforcement. There's the American-style of tasers first; there's the Russian-style of fists first; and then there's the Brazilian-style of feet first out on a stretcher

he was lucky he was shot in the leg as there are vids of people getting dragged behind cars and shot and killed by cops over there.

He’s lucky he wasn’t in the US either. He would have been shot multiple times by every police officer on scene.
