Then who&#x27;ll listen to your claims?<p>How about Wikipedia: &quot;In October 2013, the incarceration rate of the United States of America was the highest in the world, at 716 per 100,000 of the national population. While the United States represents about 4.4 percent of the world&#x27;s population, it houses around 22 percent of the world&#x27;s prisoners.&quot; (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;United_States_incarceration_rate" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;United_States_incarceration_ra...</a>)<p>So much for &quot;be respectful and they will be respectful back.&quot; Such systematic problems aren&#x27;t about &quot;respect.&quot; If an official enemy was so jail-happy, we&#x27;d probably not take such a claim seriously. Because we&#x27;re not so programmed to believe their propaganda.
