Rusty CorgiOkay Fedi, what's your chronically online hot take? 
🏳️⚧️Pastel The Skunk🏳️⚧️@Rusty dunno if its a chronically online hot take but I know its gonna make a lot of people angry but what the heck. Not every countries police is as bad as the US's and the fact that people treat it that way is pretty annoying and a continuation of the whole line of thinking of "everything everywhere is just like america" that I've seen quite a few americans believe over the years.
Ethical Complainer™@PastelFurry @Rusty ok, hot really. As an Indian who has 1st hand been a victim of police brutality here & also observe it around here, police are shit everywhere.
@Ethical_Complainer I'm a swede, living in Sweden cops are not perfect here but miles better than in the US. not everywhere around the world is just a copy of the US and people kinda need to wake up to that a bit.
@PastelFurry oh, you should have clarified that you are Nordic. Scandinavian countries tend to do pretty well generally overall compared to the rest of the world, so no surprises there. But still for the rest of the world I'd say the police fucking sucks & most people won't hesitate calling them pigs or dogs.
@Ethical_Complainer I thought I was pretty clear about not being american but my bad I guess. Also just a small nit picky thing but I'm not "Nordic" I'm Swedish there is a difference because "Nordic" could mean anything from Danish/Finnish/Icelandic/Swedish/Norwegian etc, and despite the common view a lot of people seem to hold we are not the same countries.
@PastelFurry I didn't say Nordic was a nationality 🙏🏽
@Ethical_Complainer No, but you could literally have said "Swedish" instead of Nordic, firstly because Scandinavian is the more accurate term and also is it that hard to refer to individual countries?
@PastelFurry
You're making it something I didn't mean to. Get over it.

@Ethical_Complainer Sure sure, Fjöl av 👍
Leon@PastelFurry @Ethical_Complainer I think the reason for this is less because cops here are overall good, and more because we're a tiny nation so statistically egregious overstepping and abuse happens less often.
But it happens.

Honestly, I think you'll find very few abusers that consider themselves to be immoral. I'm sure all the cops that beat up this man think they're good people.
The system failed in this case, and it was never rectified.
Väcktes av maskerad polis i sovrummet: ”Slog mig 15 gånger”
Babak Karimi blir felaktigt misstänkt för barnpornografi och hamnar mitt i insatsstyrkans razzia. Efter ingripandet har han blödande huvudskador. Han anmäler poliserna men ärendet läggs ned – eftersom det inte går att säga vem av dem som gjorde vad. – Jag ville explodera när jag förstod hur fel den svenska polisen kan ha.
