I chuckled when I realized how big your sample size must have been for you to come up with that number. I'm not one to talk, I think the number for me is 80% ;)
- SmellyGeekBoy 8y agoWhere on Earth do you people live!? I've had numerous interactions with the British police over the years (even one in my misspent youth where I was undoubtedly on the wrong side of the law) and they've been nothing but polite and professional.
- anonytrary 8y agoI live in the US. My worst encounter with the police: > I'm 16. > Two guys break into my house. > I call the police, distraught, terrified while they are breaking into my house. > Guys get cold feet and run away. > Several police officers arrive with K-9 unit and investigate the broken glass window. > Police see a nerf gun in the room. > Police claim this isn't a case because I "probably shot the window with my nerf gun and got scared that my parents would ground me for breaking the window, so I called the police out of confusion". This is America. Where idiots who don't know elementary physics are given guns in order to protect us. Where lawmakers who think Jesus exists and is looking down on us from the heavens decide what is and isn't legal. Welcome to my country. To be fair, most of the other encounters I've had with police have been professional. So, that's how I arrive at 80%.
- alphabettsy 8y agoProbably a couple dozen or so encounters.
