Hey Heisann. First of all thumbs up for being such a civilised speaker.
Look at it this way. The police is a monopoly of violence. It prohibits anyone else from using violence and the do it with more violence. I can understand that you have a much different experience with cops than I have, but I'm not breaking any laws either. It is true that europeans cops are much more civilised than greek cops, but can't you see that they are still playing a submission game? At the UK I noticed that cops were far more polite and professional than greeks, but that was only because they were properly trained to put you into submission in a polite way. Greek cops do it by being loud cunts, british by being polite. The fact is that in both cases, if you don't go by their rules, or try to stir the conversation the way you feel, even if you do it with proper arguements, will usualy lead to violence (unless you're wearing a suit). That's because they are not trained to talk and even if they were, there is no mechanism behind them to support any kind of conversation. It is just a typical procedure were you are being checked for your submission. If you don't accept their authority, that's even if you haven't done anything wrong and they know it, you're fucked. This is what brings violence and hatred for cops. We're not some madmen who hate other people just beccause they are wearing a uniform.
I've posted these before but I think as many people as possible need to see them. These two experiments really show a lot about human behaviour and how we interact with power and authority.

So yes, I AM contradicting myself. Cops are normal human beings, but they are so fucked up with authority (maybe not from their first year but definately before retiring) and misslead by those they are really protecting.
