The general attitude, and the implications of everyone having health care, are far better. The police in general have a far friendlier disposition. It's not all about authority and the "listen to me I'm the coach/sergeant" sports-talk/military-talk mentality. There is also no real race issue the way African Americans experience in the US (a systematic, paranoid, aggressive marginalization of a large section of society).

And there certainly isn't anything like the militarization of the police like there is in the US, which is the focus of this article.

There's less of a precedent of them abusing their own citizens so (which is my anecdotal opinion, admittedly). Add that to healthcare costs that won't cripple you forever, and it's a solid choice for an English-speaking country.
