This is something all of us need to safely assume until they prove otherwise.
I know there are lots of officers on this site who genuinely believe their brethren will behave different but that is yet to be seen.
IF we get to that Aussie point and we begin to see videos like the nightmare pigs (and they are indeed pigs), raiding peoples houses, arresting people for masks, driving and being out of their homes, don't get all shocked.
Aussie police are proving to be tyrants on a whole new level. And if they are an indicator of police in general, then get your mind ready.
Assume the worst. Hope for the best.
Many sheriffs have signed up to the constitutional sheriff movement. Many have openly stated their resources will not enforce mask mandates and other covid measures. Even in blue-run LA, the county sheriff is holding community meetings explaining why the corrupt DA needs to go.
Hope is out there.
