Just curious; how often do cops ram shit in Europe, Canada and Australia?
I am not at all surprised that this kind of misconduct happens in US. But I am just wondering if stuff like this happens in Europe, Canada and Australia ever?
These types of protest happen in my country quite often and the worst I have heard the cops do is carry them away in purposefully painful ways or give full cavity searches after arresting.
Cops have figured out that you can use a rear wrist lock to sprain someone’s wrist without causing any detectible injury. This causes the person to “pull away” and cry out in sudden pain so the cops can claim the person was resisting. That’s why so many cops go to Krav Magna classes. You can also see the cops in this video pushing her into the hot road to basically do the same thing.
It mostly only happens when the protestors are unarmed. If even a single person at that protest open carried a rifle in a legal fashion (no brandishing), the cops would walk eggshells.
No, at least not in Germany. We leave that to angry civilians in their cars and trucks. We had a couple of instances, but nothing to serious fortunately.

Yes there is. It is called the last generation (still able to stop the total collapse or the earth)

Sorry. I meant do cops ever ram into stuff; putting people in danger like that ranger did?
Oh you mean “attempting murder with qualified immunity?”
^ Yes, that’s what I meant.
Are cops brazen like that in other western countries ? Or is that just our cops that have the “I don’t give a fuck” mentality?
Corrupt law enforcement is sadly not a unique concept.
American Cops are just very loud & proud about it.
The French police seem to be almost as bad as the American ones, from what I see on the news here and there.
The gendarms are a low branch of the military, they are mostly alright, but like all authority organisations, some bad apples spoil the rest.

Or they just open fire…

The RCMP has a troubled past.
