Attitudes toward police

[CatAstro.Fee]

I feel like I've been very fortunate with police here in the UK. My last encounter they could have charged me with assault on a police officer but instead just took me to a psych ward. I'm very grateful they acted the way they did. My only gripe is that the handcuffs were excruciating

You are, however they can still be rough as what I've seen, but I'm almost jealous to see how police treat protestors in different places vs America. Literally here you won't even know if you'll come back home, it's absurd and unjust.

Yeah I've seen some videos where you can just look at police in the USA the wrong way and be in a world of hurt. Although laws in the UK seem to be getting ever stricter, the shit you put up with in the USA would just not fly here in the UK. I don't mean to be insensitive but... Fuck that!

i have only really had negative experiences with cops. a wellness check recently, and came to my house a few years ago after an altercation with my dad. actually the nicest cop i've dealt with was one shutting down a party who asked if everyone is okay, and if we have rides home. somehow they managed to send the nicest guy there, but the worst ones for a menalt health response

Being honest. I hate them. They've ruined my life. They're corrupt and seem to not actually care about people's welfare. I got groomed from a child, all the evidence was there yet they didn't prosecute it just felt like they were covering things up. In crisis they neither helped me just ended up covered in bruises where they was brutal. They treat me like I was an inconvenience, wrongly arresting me instead of helping me. However I do know that not all police are like that it just seems I've always had the bad ones.
