Seems like kind of an insane assumption giving the history of lynchings in this country and with how trigger happy cops are taught to be

What does it have to do with lynching?

Please don't make me explain further; the history of false accusations in america is very deep and bloody.

This happened in Germany. Come on dude I’m American and I know not everywhere is America.

Do you think false accusations are a uniquely american attribute? Have you never heard of Europe's (and very much Germany's) long history of lynching alleged witches?

Im not sure what you’re trying to imply with these questions. You started your comments talking about “this country” and providing links to American lynchings. That has nothing to do with Germany. I’m not stupid. Every country has evil shit in their history and everyone is well acquainted with germanys historical shit list but let’s not try to turn around your dumb mistake as some moral grandstanding okay? Link German lynchings and false accusations when talking about Germany.

??? We're discussing the assumption that people don't make false accusations? Nobody is making any moral claims about germany, it's just historically an equally terrible assumption as in this country. I do agree this is likely a terrible assumption in every country!
