      Really? Policemen and -women here have a training that includes psychology, deescalation techniques, basics on foreign languages and much more. It requires the qualifications for attending university, and takes about five years.

      If one just draws a weapon, he or she will be held accountable and has to explain the reasons for this. Actually shooting leads to serious inquiries and consequences. And if you do something wrong, you can’t just start over in a different town - you are out.

      They are no cops, they are proper policemen and -women.

        Yes that’s the training?

        The reality is that they abuse their power and rarely suffer consequences.

        I know of cases in Australia where the punishment for violently assaulting an autistic man in his front lawn was the group of officers having to verbally apologise. One cop beat a man in his cell and was allowed to carry out working as he was retiring soon and got to keep his pension. Cops broke a gay man’s arm in a raid on a building full of innocent gay artists and suffered nothing. A precinct made commemorative mugs with racial slurs about African immigrants, they had to undergo some training about why racism is bad.

            Where is here? Ive heard horror stories from half the countries in yhe EU-shit that wouldnt move the needle here, where the cops train the intelligence services in torture and most departmemts do shit that would make king leopold gag a little, but still atrocities. They get wrist slaps.

            Why the copaganda, officer?

              Copaganda? Nope. I wonder who tells Americans horror stories about Europe to make them feel like “anything about abroad being better must be a lie”…

                Europeans who think theyve got it bad, which they do, it could just be worse. Americans who went to europe from bourgoise houses the moment they turned 18 and never eeally encountered american cops. Blocked officer
