Should be a wake up call to my fellow Aussies. It ain't just a Yankee problem, the police are a problem everywhere. So many Aussies forget that our pigs have only been well behaved for a couple decades. The rest of our history is rife with them being demonstrable monsters.

    Two of my friends want to join WAPOL and they are both nice women, but I wonder whether the cop culture will chew them up and spit them out, or turn them into bastards.

    Lived in WA most of my life, never had a problem with WA police.

    Last time I visited Sydney in 2019 it began to feel like a city from another country and the police presence was a large part of that.

    One thing I'll never shake is the guards stationed outside the AFP building in the CBD with automatic weapons. Only places I've ever seen a sight like that are places like Mindanao in the Philippines, where insurgent terrorists are a real threat.

    It feels like law enforcement is increasingly willing to incite and provoke violence so they can claim credit for, or otherwise politicise, their response.

    Na this is bullshit.

    I know of cops in small towns like Hill End getting people arrested for driving with morphine in their system ... because the cunt got the guy tested for morphine after the ambulance administered the green whistle.

    And cops in Queensland get aboriginal kids, drive them dozens of kilometres out of town, take their shoes and make them walk back.

    Cops are cunts no matter where they are.
