        This woman died of police brutality, this happens a lot in the us, here is a list for January of this year.

        Add to that all the mysterious deaths, like this one, or the people dying in ICE custody

          Ok, so you state that killing people because of hats is ok and it isn’t a criterion of barbarism just because in the US they do similar shit?

            I am saying that cops are bastards, no matter where. It doesn’t matter if they arrest you for not wearing a hijab, or for looking like a Mexican.

            Every country has their share of police brutality, it just gets worse in autocratic governments. But demonizing Iranians as barbarians will not contribute to the solution of the problem, and only feed the racism towards people of middle eastern heritage.
