The hatred or dislike of police in a country seems to be strictly correlated to the levels of criminality, progressivism and ethnic heterogeneity. Looking at law, Singapore, Japan and South Korea would be brutal police states, but there is none of that dislike for police that we find in countries like France, US or Britain where people sing about how much they hate the police. Instead, in those countries people respect and appreciate police officers.

Singapore has no freedom of expression and the police are actually held accountable for doing their job.

Thankfully correlation doesn't equal causation, imagine how stupid you would look like online.

  Almost as stupid as someone who thinks the existence of a police force is the source of the problem every time this _context_ occurs. For some reason, countries without progressives and their shitty policies don't have these problems. There's no horrible police force from Switzerland to Singapore I feel bad for the stupid youth who choose to become a police officer in a progressive country, imagine getting shit on endlessly for trying to uphold the law.

For Japan at least this isn't particularly true especially among the younger generation. There are some very well known issues with the policing system in Japan, from forced confessions and brutality behind closed doors to racial profiling and targeted harassment. It's just easier to ignore if you're not a target by the system.

> Japan I recall seeing a statistic that something like 98% of the people charged with an offence are ultimately convicted in Japan, which means that their criminal justice system is extremely different from ours. Either their police are legitimately only arresting people who definitely did a crime, and documenting it thoroughly, or once you've been charged you're expected to be convicted for cultural reasons.

  If by ours, you mean the US, I was under the impression that the rate would also be in the high 90%'s.

In my experience the view of the police is pretty positive here in the UK.

  It used to be - but even now the problem is a different one. Less about police brutality (Menezes and Tomlinson notwithstanding) and more about police apathy and not-my-job-ism when facing any crime harder to solve than a traffic collision.

  This is only a couple of years after Sarah Everards murder by an officer - how officers acted in towards women in the vigil after her death wasn't exactly great either.

  >Singapore is a brutal police state Yes? That's exactly what I said. But because Singapore is not a progressive state, filled with progressives, their police force is appreciated and work in harmony with the community. Because you know what? People there follow the law, and appreciate that the law is enforced, and don't blame the police for the bad situations that arises from mass criminality.
