    We have pretty heavy surveillance and police force here in america, what we do lack are people’s needs being met. More police funding does not equal reduction in crime.

      Your police force serves the bourgeoisie, China’s serves the nation and the people. It’s not the funding that matters, it’s the direction they’re being pointed.
