* in a few select countries around the world. This is a rather narrow view of police(wo)men as a blanket statement.
- bjornsing 3y agoIs it? I think Sweden is probably recognized as one of the most civilized countries in world in this regard, but here too the police can murder anyone who’s too resistant and very likely get away with it. I know of several cases that ended up in bizarre acquittals, and none that ended in a conviction. They are sometimes sentenced in the court of public opinion though, as with Osmo Vallo [1]. 1. https://sv.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osmo_Vallo https://sv.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osmo_Vallo
