I'm not sure what changed, but NYPD et al have always been at least mildly corrupt. I wonder what changed that got them to forget to be honorable with the people they're supposed to help.
Like you said, I also doubt many could handle a day in another country.
I wouldn't wonder about corruption. Bad pay, hard economy and sluggish selection of cops lead to that. That is so sad, especially for a country that loves to see itself as civilization's tip of the spear.
No wonder people have so much hate for cops
Nah those guys are getting 90k+ per year, almost best employee benefits in the city (after our sanitation guys), and a few other things.
Sluggish selection is a good question. If you look at a video of this incident, the Swedish cops on vacation broke up the brawl professionally and nobody got hurt.
Then and now, multiple people I've spoken with have expressed sincere doubt NYPD would have treated them as cleanly.
90k? That's quite a lot (I guess). Surely more than I would've expected. Why the good pay? Aren't they also greatly insured as gov employees?
Hm, yes. I'm no Swedish but those are the kind of cops I know. Professional de-escalizers, not trigger-happy lunatics with a short fuse.
