Do me a favour and stop calling me a troll.

I think it is perfectly clear that (without stating an opinion) that in some countries the police is more willing to use force than in other countries. And the same goes for the general acceptance. I'm not saying that you like to see the police beating up somebody, but I mean the general consensus that 'whenever the police does so and so, you probably asked for it'.
In Holland e.g. the police suffers from a lack of respect, for which you hear often that a drunk guy got arrested, after which his friends tried to rescue him, leading to a fight....after which usually not too many people are arrested and convicted......which than leads to this lack of respect.
So like I already stated (why do I have to keep repeating myself) is that there is a clear different opinion on police action in different nations, and I'm not saying which one is better, but I guess it is somewhere in the middle.

Hmm, on reading your reply I realized I misread your quote Eppie. Although I may not agree with you, I do apologize for calling you a troll. :)

Cheers,
