wow simply unheard of. police responding to a mildly irritating situation with excessive force and thus escalating the situation entirely. I've never heard this story before. how could police do this. this has never happened. in the history of police. ever.
whether or not you want to constantly defend police by stating over and over that they have a hard job and it's impossible for us to know what is 'excessive,' it's pretty hard to deny there is a lack of compassion or emotional intelligence in the the police force. they hardly ever display any knowledge on how to extinguish any sort of altercation. if this happens as frequently in other countries as it does here, it just reinforces my opinion that you can't even want to be a cop without being kind of a fu cking dumbass turd in the first place.

Just because it's there and it's been there doesn't mean it isn't a problem that NEEDS to be addressed federally, not locally. Also to that last statement, a lot of people go into the police force thinking their job is to help people and protect the community, so that last statement is an ad hominem rendering your entire argument void.

I can't say for australia, but in Portugal the police force is mostly comprised of lower class, undersupported, underpaid and undertrained men. you can claim that's useful for the PTB, but regardless the consequences aren't all that surprising

my latest experience was with a house fire in december, we called the firefighters over a house that was burning down and they came the first time, pretty fast ok but they did a shitty job of it so it was 5am and the fire lit up again, this time at the roof so it was scary because it could spread
and the cops came for the second time and they arrived BEFORE the firefighters and that was the crucial difference, because this second time around they took a while to get there and people were getting mad/panicking.
so the cops came and they did their cop thing, ordering everyone to step back and let the ff work. most of us did, obviously, even if the ff were late it's not reason to keep them from working. and then it began, the doubdle douchebag dyinamic dance, where a couple morons decide it's a good time to yell at the cops over their "tone" when ordering us to step back. suddenly the cop is losing patience, one of the guys wants to punch the cop, im standing there staring in disbelief as there's a literal fire going on and this jackass is interfering.
someone dragged him out of the scene though tbh - and this kinda goes against my general feelings - I was pretty much hoping the cop would arrest him for disobeying or disrespecting or whatever

just for the record, I'm not denying it's a hard job. I wouldn't do it, that's for sure.
