Calling the police could end in death in most countries. The whole point of the police (even when they're not corrupt) is for people to have access to legal violent force, if necessary, to protect themselves from criminals. Granted, there are more police encounters that end in death in America than some other countries, but that is largely a function of the dysgenic welfare system that pushes the dumbest and most violent genes in the black community to perpetuate. Of course, there are places where the cops are more corrupt and encounters are more dangerous than America. The cost of healthcare is pretty messed up, though. The constant proposal to fix this by making tax-payers pay those high rates for any obese smoker, let alone any foreigner who wants to come take advantage of us, is pretty ridiculous. But it seems unconscionable that there isn't a better way for a wealthy nation to deal with one of their poor young adults being in a car crash than to ruin his financial life.
