Society has objectively gotten less violent. Morality and ethics are subjective, so I’m not going to touch on those. Every violent crime metric is, year over year, decreasing, and it’s not because of the boot on our collective necks.
We’d all be better off without armed thugs whose only job is to protect the property of the ruling class. State-sanctioned violence just waiting to be dispensed by the waiting batons of the blue mafia.
Finn here. this is & always has been straight up misinformation. all cops are, in fact, bastards, so our cops too are committing heinous acts, albeit on a smaller scale than in the US. the system isn’t magically not rotten elsewhere.
I don’t think you can have an institution whose purpose is violently policing your peers, either directly or implicitly, without attracting the least desirable of your population. Hell, describing them like that, they really do sound more like a gang.

we literally had a high-ranking cop running a criminal empire on the side.

don’t give a shit. look up Jari Aarnio. you know, just for starters.
but i do love how you found your thoughts substantial enough to be added nearly a month after the fact.
I got a down vote button. I’m not sure why I’d be afraid to have it used on me though? Oh no, someone online thinks I’m WRONG?
Anyway, enjoy the downvote. Or don’t I guess.

Mate the community events I frequent tend to run contrary to the police. ACAB, and I will continue to have fun.
