Class captain/president are sometimes referred to as a 'monitor' in the indian sub-continent. And they do the job of 'monitoring', so it makes sense in a way.
The writing friends' name part is when teacher leaves classroom for something and puts the monitor in charge of maintaining the class. Monitors are allowed to write down names of most disruptive students (who will later be punished by the teacher). Here, the monitors ignore their friends even if they do deserve the punishment. Corruption, in simpler terms... š
Am I bad, am I Batman or am I a bastard for writting my friends names?
Pro-tip: Was not educated in the algo-saxon derived teaching method.
But to be fair, the other students didn't knew we had the power to monitor them. Monitors were usually picked in secret. Brazilian Censor/Spy rules 101.
You have class monitors that are students appointed by teachers. They write down the names of other students who are mischievous in class and give them to the teacher later on
I thought it was a reference to loyalty at first. So it didn't made sense to me. But I'm from a country _(Germany)_ where corruption with _"street level"_ cops is basically non-existent. There's no way you could bribe yourself out of a ticket for driving to fast. Maybe with ā¬50.000 and the cop is alone _(which they never are)._
Of course it has some positive sides when you have corrupt cops. But overall it's definitely better to have a police force which isn't corrupt overall. I don't know how what the higher ups, undercover cops or cops involved in organized crime do.
Mr. Duke, we meet again. Thanks for the notes on how to bribe german cops: *"always catch the fuckers alone and with large sums of money"*
From one HST avatar to another, I tip my hat to you.
And if you roll down your window, don't answer the cop with:
_"Hello officer. My name is Raoul Duke. Free lunch, final wisdom, total coverage!"_
This could prevent from getting [intimate with a lonely cop](https://youtu.be/b8YnrQQ4ki4?si=TOBvKkBiIxaJfuOE) or your trunk getting searched.

To me it seems Cops in India would be the monitors who'd write the names of their friends, then slap/hit 'em with a stick afterwards.
I assume hitting people with a stick as a reflex is mandatory for police admission.
Einstein didn't
1. Win a Nobel Prize for his theory of relativity.
2. Learn to swim.
3. Excel in all school subjects.
4. Obtain his doctoral degree with his Theory of Relativity.
5. Or Master the art of driving.
I know how to swim, I know how to drive, I was a straight A student in all subjects, I'm pretty much Einstein myself. You can even ask my mom.
Alright Einstein 2.0, give me the answer to the N-Body Problem and we can all go home unharmed *(points shotgun)*
... and God and HP Lovecraft forbid me if you use the Occam's Razor and tell me the body with least mass would naturally gravitate around the body with most mass. *(re-racks shotgun, points it again)*
Are those the one who firebombed friendlyjordies house? Or just scummy politicians?
See, this is we need Batman Incorporated.
Edit: Or at least, the ICA.
But what if we are the upside down one from them?
Hence, good cops.
Edit: Also never saw a upside-up cop do a Haka, so that goes as positive karma points in my book.
The out of shape ones are the wannabe meatheads. The jocks that had power in high school and the outcasts that craved the power the jocks had both went on to become cops. The jocks just kept in shape and resent their out of shape colleagues.
They sure have image of being worse then cats
- lot more scared of random sounds
- lot of collateral damage and just walking away like "what? Did i do something wrong? It had no value anyway"
- getting treats after "mistake"
- playing with their prey(generally includes choking, neckstand, head on ground, groundslam and a lot of planting evidence even after having bodycam)
It depends on the cop tho itās not so black and white like I know a guy who was a computer science major in college with straight Aās and a super nerdy guy and decided after college to become a cop after college so it just depends on the person
My friend said she hates cops and I was like why, cause they gave her a ticket for riding the skytrain workout a valid ticketā¦ okay??? Iām convinced a lot of people who hate cops are just weird people who break the law. Letās hold cops who do wrong accountable but them ticketing you for breaking the law is what they are supposed to doā¦
I remember once a little Kid to hit by a driving Bus, the Kid was ok, luckily,but they still had to call the cops.
I remember that some of the kids in the buss where screaming ACAB and insulting the Cops š¤·
My dad was a police officer and a damn good one. Worked in a rough neighborhood and always brought the kids candy and drinks. Saved lives and experienced things that would break a lot of people in the name of serving the community and keeping people safe. All these losers screaming ACAB are an absolute disgrace and should be exempt from being helped by first responders. Would love to see how they do on their own.
I wouldn't go so far to say they should be exempt, but i didn't have your experience. All i know is that those who screamed ACAB have turned out as losers, working long shifts for small pay. Its kinda sad to watch.
Thereās definitely more nuance needed in ACAB, but you should also consider your experience isnāt universal. Iām sure your dad was great but there are plenty of cops who are total scumbags.
Edit: grammar
Youāre not fooling anyone with that shit. You canāt just call something nuanced because a logical argument has been made against it.
ACAB stands for ALL cops are bastards. That sounds pretty universal to me. I never said there arenāt bad cops but it is very clear who the closed minded intolerant people are here and you arenāt going to convince me otherwise with this bullshit.
Idk if that's the universal understanding of ACAB but I read once somewhere that the reason why it's called "All Cops" and not "Most Cops" or "Some Cops" is that good cops don't do anything against the bad cops and protect each other instead of weeding out the bad ones, making them bad as well
Well thats another lie because they do. In fact, my father was responsible for starting an investigation that led to a whole ring of dirty police officers losing their jobs. But again, this shit doesnāt make headlines.
These people only care what the media is shoving down their throats. They eat it right up and do exactly what their tech oligarchy overlords want and call themselves āwokeā. Itās the biggest joke I have ever seen. But just because you are woke doesnāt mean your eyes are open.
You can tell me all the regurgitated excuses and explanations in the world but I see right past the bullshit. This is the true intolerance and fascism taking place in this country. The people following the national socialist party in Germany didnāt know they were evil, and neither do you.
First of all, I'm German, I know what fascism is. Second, I didn't say that I was agreeing with that reasoning, I just wanted to hear your thoughts on it.
Okay well then I apologize for making assumptions. It sounded like you were defending ACAB. But I believe these people are brainwashed to the point where they may be capable of doing unspeakable things as we have seen throughout history.
not every cop is terrible, but you shouldn't trust them implicitly.
i personally prefer to take responsibility of my own personal protection, since the cops take time to arrive and by that point, the situation has already ended. thefts and attacks take seconds, but you can draw and fire a ccw in <1 second if you train, and practice.
I agree. I carry as well and am a firm believer in the second amendment.
I believe if more GOOD people were armed then the world would be a much safer place. Sick people would be deterred from going out and indiscriminately shooting people. These gun control laws are ass backwards because all they are doing is stopping good law abiding citizens from being armed. The funny thing about deranged criminals is that they donāt follow laws.
you're bang on.
in the UK, there was recently two sword attacks, and the response was to start a debate on giving all police officers weapons, (without increased pay, of course) be it firearms, tasers etc.
they're *so close* to getting it right, but the government is too scared of the people to do what *is* right.
in '23 they proposed that you need a license for every firearm, rather than one for every person who owns firearms, because you can 'easily make a small arsenal'...
dumbasses, the lot of 'em
Yes.
but they're too scared to let the people have power over them because they'd immediately be shut down. but that won't happen, protesting is illegal, being offensive is illegal, self defence is illegal, you get the picture.
Wow itās amazing how one situation televised by the mainstream news propaganda has you assuming the characteristics of a whole group of people. You are so woke
Police save lives heroically every single day. But that doesnāt make headlines
Yes and no. Obviously not every cop is bad and sone of them are even remarkable humans, but if the whole system is rotten to the point that good cops have to do awful shit... Then yeah.
I had a similar look on cops for a long time, but when I moved to a city and befriended some migrants, my views have changed. Whenever we are chilling somewhere, there is the chance that a random pair of cops approach, ask for ID and shit and ask whether we were doing drugs. They always check the backpacks of my friends intensely and only give mine a quick glance. My friends are second-generation immigrants, speak the language perfectly, are studying in university with me, and have probably done fewer crimes than me.
And I bet my country isn't the only one where systemic racism like that exists.
Though I understand that the cops are being biased, would you inconvenience the innocent to prevent crime or would you let criminals go to make it more pleasant for the innocent? It very much depends on what your accepted theory of justice is. For me, I'd rather let 99 criminals walk to protect one innocent person, and therefore I'd rather not have random checks at all. Other people could be strong proponents of the other way of justice and therefore want more vigilance and surveillance.
Every bullet fired can put them out of a job, they have to be very careful and have good situational awareness. Our police also get trained primarily in how to de-escalate a situation which also plays in, but if you see armed police here it's either a) a high security location or b) shits going down
cops dont really prevent crime though do they? They usually show up when a crime has already happened. Of course thats also useful but not the same thing. If you want to fight crime, you need to fight the reasons for crime, not try to intimidate people into not doing it
In Britain itās either way. Some are great people you can share a pint with during a protest, others are the kids who will tell on you for writing the letter L wrong.
Cops in UK will announce every 3-4years that theyāve found a clue to Madeleine McCann in a tropical holiday destination and will use public funds to send a team away on some much needed respite and a break from the usual fuckall
I don't know... If you drop the acorn in the "keine HĆ¼lsenfrĆ¼chte!š”" Zone you might be in for a ā¬20 fine and a Stern talking to! Choose Wisely...
When I was in Thailand, many times the cops would stop me from going into a restaurant and tell me that it's garbage and you should try these other places (almost always they were bomb). And then, I watched 2 cops beat up a flasher.
Nah the homework guy is the Anzeigenhauptmeister. Fucker drives around on a bike and reports people who're wrongly parked. IN HIS FUCKING FREE TIME! HE DOESN'T GET FUCKING PAYED FOR IT AND REPEATEDLY GETS BEATEN UP!!!
Comments like these remind me that sometimes I hate living in Germany! But then reading the rest of his comment section reminds me that I love living in Germany!
as a 25+ year old Englishmen, I've only seen one about 5 times. they mainly just come off as a bit pointless. they are nice enough but just give you a crime number and piss off.
watch a guy get arrested at MacDonald for stealing a van. nobody was shot and it was done in less then a min so better then the yanks
This post is full of hypocrisy. Whenever you have a real problem, you will call the cops and be grateful for their presence. Yet you shit on them Just because they are an authority figure and won't respond to your insults. Just like people shitting on doctors. What will be next, shitting on firefighters?
British police deserve to be shit on, they donāt actually do anything other than arrest you or mark your record for free speech they donāt like, something which is unfortunately not a human right over here.
Brazilian cops are the kids who'd beat your ass, and the adolecents who'd beat your ass, and the pre-adults that would bully you in college/beat your ass in Jiu Jitsu.
Hey, we have a shit aircraft/mechanized infantry, but one of the strongest and best trained infantries in the world. I guess it all pays off.
In Argentina they're the grown up version of those kids who couldn't do shit in class, repeated years in the primary and you doubt if they should be or not sent to special education, but they didn't and now they're cops
ā¦and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism.-Smedley D. Butler
Cops in Brazil will beat you up if you're a black man who was stabbed by a white guy.
https://blackbraziltoday.com/elderly-white-man-stabs-black-delivery-man-in-southern-brazil-cops-violently-subdue-black-man-take-him-to-jail/
Yep, even here cops are really... Really fucking racist...
Cops in the Philippines is the grown up version of bullies blackmailing you and taking your lunch money because you didn't wear your uniform properly.
Edit:Spelling
The UK?
Overall pretty decent, there are bad eyes, same as in any company or organisation but British Police are on the whole pretty decent. I worked closely with them for the best part of a decade and the dozen or so interactions had with them as a civvie either being questioned or going to them for help have been productive, respectful and pretty decent.
Cops in USA aren't the ones who smoked in the parking lots, they were the bullies, the kids who smoked in parking lots were depressed and usually mind their own business lol
Oh theyāre bad in the uk alright just not shoot you for twitching bad.
Theyāll happily arrest you for āoffensive languageā in either a tweet someone didnāt like or you simply re-tweeting something can be reported anonymously to get a permanent ānon crime hate incidentā on your record that employers can see, training a pug to do a nazi salute and thereās kinda the fact that their response times are measured in hours not minutes, as well as the fact that they donāt actually solve like any crimes. Something like 90% of burglaries go unsolved.
Kids who said they didn't get homework: "I wanna pass this class, better test myself. No I don't care what others think."
Kids who smoked in the parking lot: "I don't care if I pass this class, no I don't wanna test myself. I want to look good because what matters is what others think!"
Same kind of diagnosis, different pathologies, different power-trip = different police.
Can't remember the last time a german officer knelt on a black man's throat.
Seems people just wanna hate police for the sake of hating police (unless someone is doing something against you, then you call them.).
Personally only had very good experiences with every interaction from British police. I live in a fairly affluent area with not much crime so might be something to do with it, but even when I lived in more rough parts never had a bad experience.
British cops are overall pretty good in my experience. Polite, professional, well trained. Although we do have issues with the London MET, but that's London, always been a shithole.
The answer is never you useless asshole.
Y'all are strucking me a nerve with those. If you had to live in a world without cops for 30 seconds you'd have cried to have them back.
And don't try to tell me "just because of some we need to say all" or "most cops are xyz" or anything like that because it's either straight up lies or the dumbest the most illogical ideas ever.
Israeli police would beat you in full body armour and arrest you just for looking at them the wrong way (you are a Palestinian child walking back from school).
Ah yes.
Because they always are trigger happy.
Totally not a US thing... Right? (And not even as true as the stereotypes make you believe)
/Totally not dripping sarcasm
All cops are bad because they protect the interests of capital by beating the shit out of protester/strikers and enforcing unjust laws, not because of whatever the fuck you said
Lmao, do you not understand why tankies like you are called tankies? You didnāt exactly treat workers much better
Edit: spelling of tankies, idk what the fuck autocorrect thought I was trying to say
Fun fact, cops don't beat up protesters/strikers. They remove criminals. Maybe don't break the law and you'll be okay?? Protesting is legal. Breaking into buildings, stealing things, blocking traffic, and burning buildings to the ground are not.

Cops in India are the monitors in class who wouldn't write names of their friends.
This is so accurate. Its not even a joke.
Maybe it's just because english isn't my first language but I don't get it? Monitors? Writing friends names?

Thanks for the explanation!
Am I bad, am I Batman or am I a bastard for writting my friends names? Pro-tip: Was not educated in the algo-saxon derived teaching method. But to be fair, the other students didn't knew we had the power to monitor them. Monitors were usually picked in secret. Brazilian Censor/Spy rules 101.

I thought it was a reference to loyalty at first. So it didn't made sense to me. But I'm from a country _(Germany)_ where corruption with _"street level"_ cops is basically non-existent.

Maybe with ā¬50.000 and the cop is alone _(which they never are)._ Of course it has some positive sides when you have corrupt cops.

Cops in Australia are the kids who saw you do sketchy shit and didnāt say nothing
It makes them good cops But because they're in Australia, it's upside down. Therefore bad cops
Nah. They are just upside cops from your local view. If you travel to Australia they're right side up. Time/spaces is relative.
If you say so, Einstein
Einstein didn't 1. Win a Nobel Prize for his theory of relativity. 2. Learn to swim. 3. Excel in all school subjects. 4. Obtain his doctoral degree with his Theory of Relativity. 5.

**destroys all but 2 of the masses* Problem solved.
Except with the portal problem, it šÆ% just plops out the other side.
The cake is a lie and your portals upside down. It's like looking into a false mirror.
Upside down cake joke here
However, as everyone whose watched the credits to the end know: The cake wasn't a lie.
They also ignore the massive mafia in Australia so.
Are those the one who firebombed friendlyjordies house? Or just scummy politicians? See, this is we need Batman Incorporated. Edit: Or at least, the ICA.
Both I think. He did an exposƩ of sorts on a scummy politician who was in the pockets of organised crime groups. Said organised crime groups didn't like that.
The answer in reality is simply yes.
But what if we are the upside down one from them? Hence, good cops. Edit: Also never saw a upside-up cop do a Haka, so that goes as positive karma points in my book.
They use that discretion very liberally
Cops in Australia are the kids who bullied others and liked to watch while their mates beat up the black kid.
Uhhā¦.no. US cops were not the cool kids who snuck away to smoke. They were the dudes who won dodgeball and struggled to pass algebra.
I don't see an American cop beating anyone at dodgeball. Or any other sport for that matter.
They were all going to go pro for football until they all had a knee injury
Yeah that's more fitting.
Like that one guard in Skyrim who took an arrow to his knee.
I would have been a pro football player like yourself until I had a blown ACL tear on my knee.
Speedhawk?
there are absolutely many out of shape american cops, however there are still a ton of stupid meatheads.
Literally the only 2 choices. Pretty sure my area is mostly meatheads.
The out of shape ones are the wannabe meatheads. The jocks that had power in high school and the outcasts that craved the power the jocks had both went on to become cops. The jocks just kept in shape and resent their out of shape colleagues.
I dunno, American cops do seem to have a lot of experience beating people
US cops were beating up black kids in high school
Too soon?
They sure have image of being worse then cats - lot more scared of random sounds - lot of collateral damage and just walking away like "what? Did i do something wrong? It had no value anyway" - getting treats after "mistake" - playing with their prey(generally includes choking, neckstand, head on ground, groundslam and a lot of planting evidence even after having bodycam)
idk about you guys, but it was not the cool kids in my school who skipped class to smoke. those were the losers.
burnouts do not become cops. itās a natural law man.
in case you're not kidding, you'd be surprised lol
Yeah where did op get that it makes no sense. Also I struggled to pass algebra now I use algebra and geometry every day.
Hahaha that's perfect! But they weren't quite winning dodgeball either, like 5th left standing
I usually see them as the bullies that couldn't hack life after school and probably dropped out of the military but still want some form of authority.
It depends on the cop tho itās not so black and white like I know a guy who was a computer science major in college with straight Aās and a super nerdy guy and decided after college to become a cop after college so it just depends on the person
JV football team, or LaCrosse.
and made bad taste jokes under their breath during history class.
Kids who peaked in high school and never left their hometown
What's cool about smoking?
My friend said she hates cops and I was like why, cause they gave her a ticket for riding the skytrain workout a valid ticketā¦ okay??? Iām convinced a lot of people who hate cops are just weird people who break the law.

Yeah your country is in serious trouble. And unfortunately mine is going down the same path
Nobody calls the cops for help. We all see what help the chickenshit bastards were in Uvalde.

Stop making sense
Cops in France are the bully who kicked your ass for fun.
Depends on the city tho, I never had a bad experience with a cop in Montpellier but in Paris they tend to be assholes.
But their ambulances sound like 3 gay men in bed
British police are one or the other, but the armed police are decent chaps
Almost like more trained ones are decent
Indeed, also helps they have to prove they're mentally sound and level headed!
I also assume they (armed branch) will have much more oversight
Every bullet fired can put them out of a job, they have to be very careful and have good situational awareness. Our police also get trained primarily in how to de-escalate a situation which also plays in, but if you see armed police here it's either a) a high security location or b) shits going down
Yup.. It be awesome if the police forces of all countries gets similar level of training and oversight
#GET DOWN ON THE FUCKING GROUND NOW DO IT
"Yeah, dude. I am very funny." *political wall of text*.
Cops in Brazil are everything the other comments are saying multiplied by six
And if you complain about police brutality they'll probably beat your ass too
Cops in oman do mostly nothing (the country has a very low crime rate)
Maybe thatās because theyāre good at their jobs?
Good point
cops dont really prevent crime though do they? They usually show up when a crime has already happened. Of course thats also useful but not the same thing. If you want to fight crime, you need to fight the reasons for crime, not try to intimidate people into not doing it
That's more of a sign that jail works.
Not all cops are bad. Some are, and the relative amount of cops that's bad differs from place to place. There's good ones too though.
I think it's an universal fact that bad cops are noisier than the good ones though.
Then it should be easy for the good cops to root them out.
Observation bias.
In Britain itās either way. Some are great people you can share a pint with during a protest, others are the kids who will tell on you for writing the letter L wrong.
What about cops from the shadow proclamation?
Why they are the NICEST and TRUSTWORTHY and NOT TRIGGER HAPPY fellas I ever met!!!

Cops in UK will announce every 3-4years that theyāve found a clue to Madeleine McCann in a tropical holiday destination and will use public funds to send a team away on some much needed respite and a break from the usual fuckall
I'd rather take Germany, I feel like they won't blow my brains out for accidentally dropping an acorn.
I don't know... If you drop the acorn in the "keine HĆ¼lsenfrĆ¼chte!š”" Zone you might be in for a ā¬20 fine and a Stern talking to! Choose Wisely...
Still better than USA
Brazilian cops are those kids who has a crazy life outside school but on school looks like everyone else.
When I was in Thailand, many times the cops would stop me from going into a restaurant and tell me that it's garbage and you should try these other places (almost always they were bomb). And then, I watched 2 cops beat up a flasher.
Have you seen Clock Work Orange?
Nah the homework guy is the Anzeigenhauptmeister. Fucker drives around on a bike and reports people who're wrongly parked. IN HIS FUCKING FREE TIME! HE DOESN'T GET FUCKING PAYED FOR IT AND REPEATEDLY GETS BEATEN UP!!!
Comments like these remind me that sometimes I hate living in Germany! But then reading the rest of his comment section reminds me that I love living in Germany!
Lmao, yeah.
Well there is that old joke that says Heaven is where the cops are British and Hell is where the cops are German.
false meme here.
In Morocco, cops are like the vigilant neighbors who know everyone's business before they even leave their houses.
Eh, more or less
as a 25+ year old Englishmen, I've only seen one about 5 times. they mainly just come off as a bit pointless. they are nice enough but just give you a crime number and piss off. watch a guy get arrested at MacDonald for stealing a van. nobody was shot and it was done in less then a min so better then the yanks
OI! Do you have a loisence fer that registration permit?ā
Cops in Spain are the kids who didn't do their assignments and still passed school
The US ones are just the bullies from you high school. It's literally the same people.
Well, those are the two places.
All humans are bad
Cops in spain are the slow kids in class who were given a power such as cleaning the blackboard and felt like they were superior
You got a license for that question, m8?
Based on the votes in here, cops are anything and everything. Y'all don't know jack.
This post is full of hypocrisy. Whenever you have a real problem, you will call the cops and be grateful for their presence. Yet you shit on them Just because they are an authority figure and won't respond to your insults. Just like people shitting on doctors. What will be next, shitting on firefighters?
British police deserve to be shit on, they donāt actually do anything other than arrest you or mark your record for free speech they donāt like, something which is unfortunately not a human right over here.
Just straight up children.
What is the name of the actress?
Jenna Coleman! This meme template here is from her time on Doctor Who, but I'm sure you've seen her in some production in the last few years!
They are non-existent when you need one in Britian.
They're probably off on adventures in time and space or something!š¤·

Brazilian cops are the kids who'd beat your ass, and the adolecents who'd beat your ass, and the pre-adults that would bully you in college/beat your ass in Jiu Jitsu. Hey, we have a shit aircraft/mechanized infantry, but one of the strongest and best trained infantries in the world. I guess it all pays off.
In Argentina they're the grown up version of those kids who couldn't do shit in class, repeated years in the primary and you doubt if they should be or not sent to special education, but they didn't and now they're cops
ā¦and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism.-Smedley D. Butler
In my experience 2/3 of police are the kid that got bullied in school and thinks being a dickhead is making the world a better place
Oi! You got a loicense for that wonderin'?
Cops in Brazil will beat you up if you're a black man who was stabbed by a white guy. https://blackbraziltoday.com/elderly-white-man-stabs-black-delivery-man-in-southern-brazil-cops-violently-subdue-black-man-take-him-to-jail/ Yep, even here cops are really... Really fucking racist...
Bullies and snitches
Cops in the Philippines is the grown up version of bullies blackmailing you and taking your lunch money because you didn't wear your uniform properly. Edit:Spelling
Cops in Italy will arbitrarily ignore whatever you are doing if you stop it or just ruin your entire day
You got cops š® n America wrong. They are failed Asshole Jocks. Asshole Jocks become cops. Cool Jocks become fire fighters.
Are people who generalize bad?
cops bad gib updoots pls
Cops in South Africa are the kids that fell asleep in the class
The UK? Overall pretty decent, there are bad eyes, same as in any company or organisation but British Police are on the whole pretty decent. I worked closely with them for the best part of a decade and the dozen or so interactions had with them as a civvie either being questioned or going to them for help have been productive, respectful and pretty decent.
Not sure about the rest of Britain, but in Scotland there pretty much useless ngl
Cops in USA aren't the ones who smoked in the parking lots, they were the bullies, the kids who smoked in parking lots were depressed and usually mind their own business lol
Cops in Britain are the kids who would sneak out of class to go drink tea and avoid dental care
Police in Britain are too poor to do anything
Germanys once are tuning into the grown up version of the bullied weird kid ready for revenge
Cops in South Africa just looking for a Bribe to look the other way
["Oi! 'Ave yew got a license for that?"](https://youtu.be/rNESbiocPuA?si=yncNsk5bdi4v6u1Q)
Oh theyāre bad in the uk alright just not shoot you for twitching bad. Theyāll happily arrest you for āoffensive languageā in either a tweet someone didnāt like or you simply re-tweeting something can be reported anonymously to get a permanent ānon crime hate incidentā on your record that employers can see, training a pug to do a nazi salute and thereās kinda the fact that their response times are measured in hours not minutes, as well as the fact that they donāt actually solve like any crimes. Something like 90% of burglaries go unsolved.
Kids who said they didn't get homework: "I wanna pass this class, better test myself. No I don't care what others think." Kids who smoked in the parking lot: "I don't care if I pass this class, no I don't wanna test myself. I want to look good because what matters is what others think!" Same kind of diagnosis, different pathologies, different power-trip = different police. Can't remember the last time a german officer knelt on a black man's throat. Seems people just wanna hate police for the sake of hating police (unless someone is doing something against you, then you call them.).
Personally only had very good experiences with every interaction from British police. I live in a fairly affluent area with not much crime so might be something to do with it, but even when I lived in more rough parts never had a bad experience.
If cops skipped class to smoke then we would get along so much betterā¦
British cops are overall pretty good in my experience. Polite, professional, well trained. Although we do have issues with the London MET, but that's London, always been a shithole.
The answer is never you useless asshole. Y'all are strucking me a nerve with those. If you had to live in a world without cops for 30 seconds you'd have cried to have them back. And don't try to tell me "just because of some we need to say all" or "most cops are xyz" or anything like that because it's either straight up lies or the dumbest the most illogical ideas ever.
This take is braindead.

Israeli police would beat you in full body armour and arrest you just for looking at them the wrong way (you are a Palestinian child walking back from school).
'I've always had good experiences with cops!' *Survivorship bias intensifies*
The overwhelming majority of people have
Ah yes. Because they always are trigger happy. Totally not a US thing... Right? (And not even as true as the stereotypes make you believe) /Totally not dripping sarcasm
All cops are bad because they protect the interests of capital by beating the shit out of protester/strikers and enforcing unjust laws, not because of whatever the fuck you said
Lmao, do you not understand why tankies like you are called tankies? You didnāt exactly treat workers much better Edit: spelling of tankies, idk what the fuck autocorrect thought I was trying to say
Fun fact, cops don't beat up protesters/strikers. They remove criminals. Maybe don't break the law and you'll be okay?? Protesting is legal. Breaking into buildings, stealing things, blocking traffic, and burning buildings to the ground are not.
They uphold the law, and the law is for the protection of people and property
