i did! and while i found some parts very interesting, some parts were just too, let's say way off leftist for me. sorry maybe i could explain this better in german.
1. thing is that "we(americans) are all imagining that black guys commit crimes too, we should just let them shoot us, because we enslaved them 300 years ago"! or what else was the point of complaining that the bad guys in "cops" are often black. that's just the way it is in american big cities! the white guys living in the suburbs and going amok and shot 16 people in school are until that quite normal law abiding citizens. so how show them in "cops"?
another impression that came over was that only white guys are fond of guns and have them at home! one wonders how all those gang shootings are carried out then! and the uncle of that six year old who shoot his classmate was black too wasn't he?
2. thing "we in canada don't lock our doors, even if we get burglared!" this is just ridiculous! i live in a town of 27000 people and the only murderer i remembered in 25 years was a guy murdering his parents and a man murdering his wife.
but everybody here lock their doors, because we do have burglars here. and why risk it? what for, to show i'm a worldly innocent dork?
those canadians, who said that they where burglared before, but still don't lock their doors are just stupid fucks! however, allmost no one has a gun here and you have to go through great pain and tests to get one and it's impossible to own a handgun legally unless you're a cop or something like that!
still, i got the impression that canadians are fools, sorry!
