:::There is already a talk section on the United States above. Despite many attempts to document many journalistic and academic sources showing solid proof of the police state in the United States, the extremely biased editor above has taken the Trump stance of repeating "wrong" until he is able to silence his opposition. Leaving out the United States, as well as allies like Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, UAE, and Israel, are despicable omissions to this article. <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/69.131.223.93|69.131.223.93]] ([[User talk:69.131.223.93#top|talk]]) 04:15, 12 January 2018 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
== Objective standards ==
I've flagged this unreferenced sentence in 'History of Usage' section of the article: "Because there are different political perspectives as to what an appropriate balance is between individual freedom and national security, there are no objective standards defining a police state." There are multiple organizations that do in fact rate countries on the basis of the amount of freedom their citizens/residents enjoy, for example, see [[List of freedom indices]]. While this rankings are somewhat subjective, they are intended to be based on objective criteria. There used to be information on these indices in the article, but it has all been deleted.
