First of all, I do believe that some sentences are not in the best interest of a nation, that isn't the issue. The issue is sending them out due to dangers in prison but not outside of prison.
The dangers in their prisons are due to their failed prison system. crowded and overflowing and not serving to prevent recidivism. Just the opposite.
I have been outspoken on how I believe the "three strikes you're out" is horrible policy in my opinion (I'm not American, I can only provide my own, best judgement and honesty to the debate, I'm not here to tell them "you must be like _____"). Morally, economically and security-wise, I think it's lazy, poorly directed policy.
You choose to not criticize them for their failures, but I do. If that's what you consider to be poor policy then that can be your opinion. I'll stay with mine. However I have to say that it's not clear what you are claiming as being poor policy.
Also, as someone who was targeted at a young age for simply being born in the wrong neighbourhood and to provide a career for some filthy covert dogs and their low performing lineage, I understand the abuses covert police engages in, in Canada. They all deserve their place in hell, you won't see me apologize for them,
You obviously have a chip on your shoulder and that's led you to attempting to compare Canad's police with America's. That's a bridge too far. That's not saying that Canada's police are immune to corruption. I have myself experienced and been the victim of bad policing but it didn't cause me to keep a chip on my shoulder for the rest of my life. However, your experience that you suffer from must have been more egregious than mine. Mine resulted in an impression that 'one' mountie was somewhat bad, as opposed to the entire RCMP.
THAT is "justice" as a Canadian.
No charges, no allegations, no criminal record or prison time, in fact, no crime (but boy do some of us know about crimes the police themselves engaged in). In return for the filthy animals in Canada having a career and stealing from the taxpayer, my life was stolen perpetually.
That comes off as a rant with little meaning.
So, if you are a Canadian (maybe you're not), you better have an opinion about our creepy covert police of the TPS, OPP and RCMP. Our nation would be better off if we had Rule of law, transparency and accountability of policing rather than covert, unaccountable, East German creepy activities.
That's all about the chip on your shoulder. What is that all about?
There could be a rational conversation between us on Canada's policing as compared to America's. Especially starting with police murder of Americans on the streets, in cold blood.
Canadian police have destroyed our reputation, our young and our economy. So...maybe bite your lip on your "holier than thou" position, unless you wish to have the real debate about Canada vs. U.S on the issue of justice.
I welcome the debate. But I do because I'm curious about the reason for the 'chip'. Aside from that personal aspect, some examples of Canada's bad policing would be useful for making comparisons.
I can be two things at the same time, in support of more reasonable sentencing anywhere, but also quite offended by creepy, dishonest, life altering covet actions in Canada.
Your reference to 'covert' actions by Canada's police isn't specific and so I'll neither acknowledge or deny.
You should be too, if this is really the issue you care about.
The issue I care about here in this discussion is America's failure of it's justice system and it's prison system. But I'll take the time to hear you out on your grievances over Canada's.
Fwiw, I have a good friend who is a retired mountie. His attitude toward law enforcement is quite out of step with mine, but I would suspect could be consistent with yours. That is judging from your attitude of seeing little fault in the US system and your attempts to compare their mess to Canada's policing.
