May be Australia, but that is why the police cannot be trusted. The only way they could get any closer to the stasi is if they were to start wearing armbands with the swastika. They have an us vs them mentality; they are not your friend, they are not there to help you.

Rubbish.

You sound like Antifa or BLM. Or both.

I think that there are a number of officers, not a huge number, that do have an “us vs. them” attitude regarding the public. But that doesn’t grow out of training, but rather experience. Imagine working in a big city, day-in and day-out, dealing with basically 2 kinds of people, thugs and fellow officers.

You trust the fellow officers for the most part, outside of a bad apple here and there. But the general public, in your particular situation, either are the thugs you arrest or people that “didn’t see nuttin” whenever a crime is committed. People develop a hardened attitude when their only encounters with the public are antagonistic, and we know that the left likes to be antagonistic towards any kind of order.

Out here away from the inner city, we have good police and there is almost always a mutual trust. Why? Because we have similar goals - safe streets and neighborhoods and hard/violent criminals removed from the population.

Thank you. I’ve attempted to reason with this poster to no avail.
Sounds like a personal issue imho

Do you remember Daniel Shaver and Justine Damond? Daniel Shaver’s murderer, Philip Brailsford, was rehired by the police department so he could get his pension.

I know what it sounds like, bags. But until they break down the blue code of silence, they cannot be trusted.
