I know it's 100% stereo types but I found it deep in my meme collection and wanted to share!

Text reading "Heaven is where the police are British, the cooks are French, the mechanics German, the lovers Italian and it's all organised by the Swiss. Hell is where the chefs are British, the mechanics French, the lover's Swiss, the police German and it's all organised by the Italians."

No it isn’t. The meme image collects a bunch of European nationalities and isn’t even specifically about cops. The top comment here is about police getting into heaven. Maybe most comments are about American or UK cops, but that’s because that’s where the complaints are.

    1. Heaven is where the police are British

    2. ...why would police be allowed into heaven?

    3. It feels like an easy upvote as an American, but…there are countries where police are dutiful, helpful, and measured in force.

    The second line implies there isn't a single good cop in the entire world that would get into heaven. Otherwise it would have said "why would British police be allowed into heaven?".

    So this entire comment threat is about every single police on Earth.
