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.
