If you've been paying attention, it's not 'his backyard'. It may come as a surprise but Dylan's not US-based. I'd agree that the US has a violence problem, and the Georgan police's not immediately going to Russian-style suppression is good - but that kind of violence is not acceptable in Georgia. Families are outing and disowning family members of police anti-riot squads. I wish the police in the US had the same issues to deal with.
TL;DR: this is classic 'whataboutism'.
