I always thought and actualy still believe that the police in the US is better than in Europe ( in terms of public releations and the number of abuses)
Most European countries dont have a "history of being a republic" or at least a very short one and most police forces here evolved out of a state apperatus of an absolute monarchy or dictatorship which used that apperatus to inforce it`s regime. Some may say that this does not play a role, but I am certain that the history of an institution has an impact on how it is today.
