In every country. All police exist to protect the state by maintaining order. They do not exist to serve or protect you. Quite the opposite. This is true everywhere, including "paradises" like sweden or norway.
The police is there to "protect and serve" just like google is there to "do no evil".
- tluyben2 6y agoSure, but in some countries they are more sadistic and triggerhappy than in other countries. Seems that some cultures have more of the 'uniform is power' mental defect. The Dutch police you can practically spit on and they won't lose their cool; in Spain you will be beaten to a pulp for that. I prefer the Dutch way, a lot. No need for aggressive angry hot-heads in uniforms with sticks, tasers and guns.
