Your country doesn't make mistakes involving police? Really?

Wasn't there a story about a woman getting put in jail for having spaghetti on a spoon that they thought was drugs? Lost her job?

Yeah, imagine that. Getting put in jail for a month.

Do you think this is some "my country vs your country" competition? It's not. I wasn't trying to wound any national pride either.

Also I'm not from Florida or the US for that matter.

No one here seriously thinks the UK is faultless or beyond criticism. This isn't about national pride.

But you're just peddling false narratives which are easily disproved, which are rampant especially on right wing news sites. So you might not be right leaning, but people who write and share them generally are.
