Mandatory training to become a police officer:

• US: 600-700 hours on average, much of which is gun and combat training and not policing
• Canada 2080 hours
• Spain 2880 hours
• Germany 4000 hours

With that little time spent training and heavy combat focus a US cop might get as little as 2-4 weeks of training on everything that a cop does that doesn’t involve guns. People get shot by US cops because they weren’t taught anything else. People don’t get help from US cops because they were never taught solving problems that don’t involve shooting a minority.

Cartman yelling respect my authoritah! is not far off from what a rookie US cop knows about being a police officer.

EU regulations that can be triggered in response to tariffs include an option to make that completely legal

Edit because I’m getting asked for a source: EU Anti Coercion Instrument that got passed in 2021 and came into effect in December 2023: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=OJ%3AL_202302675

Specifically Annex I, paragraph 7:

ANNEX I

Union response measures pursuant to Article 8

[…]

7. The imposition of restrictions on the protection of intellectual property rights or their commercial exploitation, in relation to rightholders that are nationals of the third country concerned, which may amount, as necessary, to the non-performance of applicable international obligations with respect to trade-related aspects of intellectual property rights.

This applies to copyright and patents, but not trademarks as far as I know.
