I agree with the sentiment, the United States is somewhat uptight especially when it comes to telling other people how to live their lives. Certainly this is a contributing factor.

Minorities are also treated with extra scrutiny almost everywhere.

Policing also varies greatly from locality to locality.

I’ve know probably five police officers and all are great people and join the police to help, but I hate to say it many of them have anger or control issues.

Personally I had an issue where I needed an ambulance to my house and trip to the ER. The police showed up along with the ambulance and an officer was in my house and looking around the house with a snooping eye. Even when there to help they are looking for signs of a crime.
