Yes, exactly

But also, if police get stupid orders, they will act stupid

Leftists nowadays would scream "that's FAscIsm!!" if the police were out in every corner

I don't have anything against the police but I know they aren't there to be my friend.

I’m more scared of AntiFa beating me with a bike lock or a pipe than Police

At least if the police shoot you they call an ambulance

Lmaooo

It may be easier to have good optics wrt police in smaller countries... and counties in the US

True

@ThisIsNotGreg I don't think there are any members of antifa that could lift a member of the police

As a whole it seems US police get painted with a broad brush when one does something bad

Like everything else in life

I think it's tragic that people demonize the police

I don't doubt there are good counties in the US where the police are community-oriented

Then you have..democratic states where the police seem to have the bad rep?

Well like I said it only appears as if police are at every corner here

A good system is the key, and of course at certain hours there must be fewer patrols

Police has to sleep, too

It's not that you won't ever get attacked

It happens all the time even here

But Vienna is quite big

Or crowded I should say

If officers feel respected, more people will apply I think, too

Who respects a US officer right now, honestly

I see so many people demonizing them over YT videos, it's stupid

The US is huge, of course there are bad videos

They're into "China good!" territory nowadays. Or turning a blind eye, as usual

The HK protests have so few..reblogs on the blue hellsite

sarcasm/ *china is bad because it's no longer communist* /sarcasm

>"Liberal"
>A "communism good" button
you cunts are doing this on purpose

Some say China is currently in the first stage of "state capitalism" i.e. allowing entrepreneurship but with heavy regulations

In fact what I know about China is that the economy wouldn't even function without bribery and blackmail

@Jokerfaic liberal collage != liberal

Communism is just state capitalism

...

State capitalism is actually a joke term, it's not a real thing

I just use it in quotes

China's model is more like the nazis. They allow markets but they are subordinate to the state's demands.

But in essence, it is. You can't make big business in china unless you're approved by the powers that be. And if u get too much money, they will get it from you by force & being imprisoned+organ donor'd. Hence why chinese try to smuggle their money out

I mean, when capitalism is abused by select actors, it becomes socialism for the rich
