    The US is ranked 132 out of 163 for safety worldwide. I’d say that actually makes the US one of the least safe countries on earth.

    Is it safer than living in a Roman frontier town during the Hun invasion? Probably… but the point is, clearly having the most militarized police and highest prison population doesn’t make things safer.

      Global Peace Index includes factors like military spending and weapons exports. It’s not a measure of how safe it is to live inside the USA.
