Police - Service or Force?

This is to KharmaDog and ElectricCrow -

If you don' t have any interest in the topic, or if you don' t have anything worthwhile to contribute to the discussion, then simply don' t participate in it. This is the very last time I' m telling you to stay on topic. I you fail to adhere then I will force you to by a temporary ban.

Police is both a force and a service. They service those in need who have been victimized of a crime, and enforce the law upon those who don't follow it. Depending on what side of the spectrum you're on, they could be either.

👆 I like that. I absolutely agree.

One of the people I heard complain the most about the police is my friend's neighbour. Coincidently, he has a rap sheet a mile long. If chronic stupidity were a federal crime, he'd be a lifer.

Funny how those who most often complain about the cops are those who may have had one too many run ins with them.

Like i said, all the bad cops get the press, there are plenty of good cops out there, and just like us they can have bad days, but for the most part they're doing a difficult job, under difficult circumstances and they are doing it well.

What would better describe the police in your country - Police force or Police Service?

Do you think this matters? Should it be a force or should it be a service? Are police there to protect us, or control us?

What are your thoughts?

It should be there as a service and its enforecement of the law should NOT be weak with the tough and tough with the weak........but we know how it goes sometimes.

I think the police should give more random beatings to offenders. There's nothing funnier than voilence against a guilty party.

Unless, of course, it's me. That's not funny at all.

😂😂 hahaha!

Although I feel it's necessary to police the police.

I think we should concentrate more on the laws and lawyers who make life more easier for the criminals than for those trying to apprehend, prosecute or convict offenders, and life a living hell for the victims of crime than we should the few bad cops who make the news.

Aaaaah, but who will police the police?

The army. Job done.

I believe so too.

There are independent bodies policing the police. I forget the names though...

''The Ghost Squad''

I personally think the concept is a bit lost in my country.
I don't need protection against myself, they don't need to punish so excessively (as if they actually know the thought behind punishment), they don't need to attack or arrest protestors as it's supposed to be the country they serve..

Of course all a bit exagurated but you'll get the idea.

The same goes for the government of course, all the treating of adult citizens like children and forcing down the opinion of how bad certain stuff is (taboo) is just wrong and I feel like they've lost the basic idea behind it all.
But of course it will all fall eventually.. hehehe..
