No, I think

Officers in the US are amazing

They deserve all the respect they get (or don't get I guess)

Can they be trained better? Yes of course, always

In Austrian cities there's almost no downtime for police

You see an officer or two at almost every corner

I'm exaggerating a bit, but their system is really good

That's why it seems like that

Good to know

They are assholes sometimes, but humans are assholes in general

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
