RE: Police Brutality in the USA - A European Perspective
Maybe also too much donuts as well? Just wondering is it true that the cops in the States have quite a bit of sweet tooth. I think every country they have the responsible law enforcers and there will also be a few bad apples; the bottom like is those who truly love their country they pretty much honour their jobs with their lives.
Just my 2 cents.
Here in Ireland, our regular police (gardai) don't even carry weapons... Only a baton and probably some pepper spray. This country is very peaceful. We have gang crime... But they all play together. We have a few armed gardai around at the moment due to the increased terrorist threat in Europe but, we are a neutral country, we just wanna be everyone's friend!
In Malaysia, if the rules still apply, police officers are not allowed to shoot at the citizens unless they know he / she is a robber or offender (to the public or to another citizen).
They have to fire 1 warning shot first before they shoot to disarm the person, and every bullet has to write a report.
