There are more countries in the world besides America, where any chump can get into "law enforcement" after 6 weeks of trainning.
In most of the world, getting a badge implies a serious and throughrough selection and scrutiny process.
You have obviously never worked as a police officer and are making this up.
Grew up surronded by law enforcement
As a criminal or family member? I guess either way I was still right.
I would believe "in many countries", but not "in most in the world", sorry.
"Most of the world"? Really? Maybe in the developed world I guess, but definitely not in "most of the world." In most of the world law enforcement is very much a pay for service business like any other. Well, in a lot of the world anyway.
We're obviously talking about US police.
Nah. All police boil down to the state having an exclusive right to enforce their whims with violence, and protecting the oppressive class, by using violence on the oppressed. I've yet to see a country where this isn't the case. The US cops are just better armed than most other cops, so they make the news for their state sanctioned crimes more often.
