Cops are as much bastards as criminals are. In an ideal society both should not exist. Nobody should be given the right to use lethal force against whomever they decide at the time to be necessary and it is totally fine to have this opinion and state it in public.




I mean, its not totally fine. It's psychotic (divorced from reality) and immature. I grant you that its not against the law. But see the fact that you have to skew the nature of police force in order to fake your point.

Would you mind sharing where are you from? There are many countries were the cops are literally criminals, like mine.

I would love to be able to have the same innocence as you, treating cops as heroes that risk their lives to protect society.


Since you are from a country other than the one in which this site originates, and are asking where I am from, maybe first you should post where you are from.

If your country did not have cops, who would enforce the laws that are enforced?

Would the most powerful gang simply become the new government? Who?

Would you prefer pre-civilization to civilization, wherein there are no laws?

I well know the dynamics of mafia, and how they relate to the Police.

The system is not perfect, but it is the core structure of civilization.

We try to limit police power via the law, internal controls, and hiring moral men.

Some of that is breaking down everywhere. But its not breaking down via the prescriptions of those who designed the system.

Where in your system have the fail safes failed? No judgement, just curious.

Does your country have the potential for law and order, or not? Why not? What would you do differently, which is realistic?
