That looks like the same road we (USA) is heading. I give it 50'ish years and you'll see this in a bunch of neighborhoods.

With our legal system tying the hands of law enforcement with varying shades of political correctness, we could very well be going there in the future. Corruption is a human thing.

The new goons maybe "evil" but at least they seem to be a lesser evil. At least for now.
