Reply to comment by AmericanSheep16 in Man charged after eating stolen chips dropped by thief, police say by jab116

The local government is still a government, my dude, and one that has armed thugs.

Nothing he said was wrong, quit making us look self-absorbed

Theirs a big difference between feds and locals however. Especially when it comes to government. Especially when it comes to the states. They both work for Uncle Sam I suppose, but they usually got different goals in mind.

A local government is more likely to have your best interests in mind as compared to the feds.

And discussing how my country works with people who aren't from here isn't self-absorbed.

It is self-absorbed when they didn't ask. Nothing you said was wrong either, just irrelevant.

Although....it's usually the local cops that execute unarmed people without trial, not the feds. Feds don't do traffic stops or patrol your neighborhood.

I was chuckling at their use of italics, as if it made their claim better
