I think that the remarks on the US are going overboard. This is a discussion of police states in general, not of the Bush administration's policies. ] 14:15, 31 Mar 2004 (UTC) |

Wouldn't the picture of the Department of Justice be more appropriate in a section on the Department of Justice (or possibly the US Patriot Act). The picture seems to imply that the US '''is''' a police state which I believe would not be in the NPOV. Maybe a picture of a historic building of the Stasi would be more appropriate (although I don't know enough about the Stasi to know objectively if they had created a police state). I am fairly inexperienced here, so I could use an explanation of why the picture is or is not NPOV. --] 06:36, 18 Jul 2004 (UTC) |

:It seems that although the paragraphs regarding the US have been cut, the picture was left in. I'm removing it. ] |

::That's unfortunate. That picture was way cool and really gave a "police state" feeling. Can't we keep it? --] 05:42, 25 Jul 2004 (UTC) |

The paragraph on Afghanistan is poorly written (in a way that makes it hard to understand exactly what is being said), unsourced, unlikely to be factual »most people disappear« and why would the Taliban special police themselves say that the taliban government commits various severe crimes? ] (]) 08:36, 15 May 2023 (UTC) |

I took the picture, its a real picture. Im not implying that the US is a police state. Think of the picture as a description of what a police state is, rather than something that says the US is or is not a police state. I took a trip to DC, and while I was there we walked by the US DOJ building. The entire building was surrounded by this barbed wire fencing. Then I saw what was carved on the building. Whether the US is a police state or not is irrelevant. This picture shows a representation of what a police state FEELS like. Justice is cut off from the populace by the state. Leave the picture in, but without a caption of what the building is. |

This article is biased toward left wing politics. Fix. Make it neutral. ] (]) 05:50, 10 February 2024 (UTC) |

:@] super agree with this, it didn't list a single Communist state as an example of a police state but instead chose Cuba before Castro holy ] (]) 05:21, 14 August 2024 (UTC) |

::@] sorry I should say it does list but the part about the ussr is two sentences and it says that the police state ended after Batista with the establishment of Marxist leninism ] (]) 05:31, 14 August 2024 (UTC) |
