    when people riot over college basketball and get arrested

    Cops in the US will just let you riot, for the most part, so long as you don't block them or trespass on their turf.

    Was in downtown Austin during a real raccous 6th Street party and the police were simply standing around in front of a few of the nicer buildings. My friend moved out of the way of a big cluster of people in the crowd and crossed some invisible line. Two cops immediately rushed him, tackled him, and dragged him off for trespassing. Some guy was straight up standing on a car half a block away and nobody cared.

    J6 was crazy in so far as how blaise the initial police response was. Whites really don't have any kind of fear of the police in the US.

    I think that's the root of the anti-China hysteria. "What if you were in a country where you weren't completely immune from the law?"
