Oh, it's much worse in China. In China, there are cops that keep other cops in line. Remember when I told you that in China, common cops are unarmed, save for maybe tong sticks? Along with the fact that common citizens don't have guns, it's also to keep those cops from revolting against higher-ranking cops who have actual clubs. And those cops are kept in line via cops with actual guns. Of course, in the US, given that everyone can have guns, it just instantly escalates to 3 levels.
