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.
Well, that's good to hear. I know its not everywhere but my working theory is that if/when push comes to shove, there will be a fracture in loyalties among the police (as well as the military) somewhere along the lines of 50/50, give or take a bit.
You have a valid concern.
The concern my COP friends have is that international peacekeepers would be called in to do what they won’t.
Why? They have had to train them.
