How are you supposed to help the victim while simultaneously avoid being falsely accused of being the perpetrator?

      I work as an interpreter, and sometimes I have to work with the US/UK police. They aren’t as evil as people make it seem. Yes, there are some assholes and idiots, but most of the time they’re trying to be nice and helpful.

        The problem is that the organizations themselves are corrupt and these “nice and helpful” cops will side with said corrupt organization and the piece of shit criminal cops they protect 99 times out of 100.

          Nah - usually stolen cars are just taken for a joyride or something, and then are left on a random street. Eventually someone will report an abandoned vehicle or a cop will pull up to give them a parking ticket, they’ll run the plates, and you’ll get a notification that they found your car.

      Are the cops in the US really that bad?

      News items are news because they are rare. The US amplifies it’s negatives in search of eyeballs and in search of fixing problems. The average officer is average, not the extreme you see on the news.

        Yeah but whenever multiple cops show up to a scene, there’s almost always one bad cop there. Then the “average” cops don’t do a thing to stop the bad one, and you end up with a bunch of bad cops.
