The American left wing, perhaps, but that has more to do with the militarization of American law enforcement which, in turn, is a response to a heavily armed populace. Police in many other countries are respected on a bipartisan basis, as they largely dispense with the "cowboy cop" attitude that seems so alarmingly pervasive in American law enforcement. As an example, in the UK it's rare for officer shootings to reach double digits in any given year. Most of the cops there don't even carry firearms. They don't need to - their odds of running into a heavily armed assailant are slim People in Europe adopted the policy of "appeasing their masters" which will provide a brief facade that the government will protect and care for them, until the people actually need to fight back and that facade fades away (See the yellow vest movement of France). When people refer to the evils of police, it is not just the militarization of police. It is the prison industrial complex and how police are encouraged to adopt arrest-quota policies. <cite>VioletZer0 posted [p:926136667] in Gun rights...
