THE POLICE FORCE .......

In fact today's writings could be the perfect sequel to my previous " law enforcement " on Feb 12- 2015 , we hear nowadays more of police activities and ..... , lately an almost daily news event .


The police !!  Almost a sacred institution , an untouchable one , and surely rarely if at all scrutinized ,  that is in most of the world's countries on all continents . But the words sacred or untouchable etc... have different meanings to different geographical areas of the globe .


All dictatorships , absolute rulers , Musslem monarchs  and emirs ,  and many other wealthy and industrial countries like  China , Russia and Israel  and many others , understand  these words as total , literal , absolutist , only applicable through ruthless apparatus , violence and brutality are  always the only hand to play , and surely no questions ever to be asked .


The same words to a European , and more so to a western European , ultimately to a Nordic or a UK ear , have a different interpretation , civility , less or no brutality , and more interest in the people's social problems . Canada is a slightly modified version of the European West in general .


The US , has always taken a much stronger , and more rigid attitudes in applying the rules and tactics of law enforcement , use of arms has of course always been with the forces , the sacredness and untouchability were always present , albeit in semi hidden ways , but American police were never far from brutality and homicide in their history, and more so in the past century , on the contrary it's a  constantly  increasing  trend  with the years , and lately to alarming levels .


Some funny statistics came up lately whereby the American police killed more people in one month than the entire UK police have killed since 1900 , in March of this year 111 people were killed by police . Funny heh.... I have to admit though , and very openly , that the country is turning into a more brutal , weaponised , and ruthless , at all aspects and echelons of the population , the younger ones are more prone to gangs and drug distribution circuits  , the Black youth even more so than others , but everyone is following including Whites .


Could it be now the awakening call , coming through this spree of killings writely and wrongly , meditated or not , against special races or not . The call for more scrutiny , transparency , and humanity in the training at all  police academies , a half way of meeting our European counterparts , surely not our greatest  Allie though . we could start by applying some more efforts of limiting the militarization of our law enforcement's agencies , of easing the racial tendencies of most of our law enforcers , and modifying the processes of  training and indoctrination at all levels of police forces .




Thanks as usual to all for your good monitoring , and propagating my writings .
