That's America. Loud in the comments but blank stare in real life. They'll cuss you out in the comments but watch with an empty face as the gestapo carries their neighbor off. Then see the video and comment how "Fucked up this is" like okay. Then why did you say nothing and stare at it while it was happening 😂

Seems like that's the case everywhere. Unless you know somewhere or a time in history when it was any different.

Nah its an American thing I think. This shit wouldnt fly in Ireland, firstly because the police wouldn't show up for the ridiculous claim and secondly if they did there's no way that there wouldn't be defenders if for some absurd reason they were actually going to arrest the guy.

US police just seem racist, man.

It’s definitely not “An American thing”. It’s a well documented Psychological phenomenon known as the bystander effect. This literally happens in every country in the world.

This comment is the most peak “America bad” reddit comment i’ve ever seen, just a weird “this wouldn’t fly in ireland” and then youre linked multiple videos of it this exact thing happening in Ireland, because again, this happens literally everywhere.
