mini, when I was about 7 the police in the neighbouring district arrested a man for drunk driving.
They were to lazy to do procedures required in such a case and therfor simply locked the man into the cellar of the magistrate with the intention of releasing him the next day.
They forgot.
He was found 2 weeks later, half mad for having chewed his belt and parts of the wall in search of something liquid.
The police in catholic, conservative, clanish southern Europe is probably worse than the US police.
Not because they shot more often (which they dont) but because they operate in a clanish small community where everyone knows everyone and where you can get away with alot of things.

Now imagine a -massive- clan-ish community with increasing access to military gear and quality surveillance equipment where no one seems to know anyone (or what anyone else is doing) but they stick together just the same when shit hits the fan.
Mind you, I actually love the idea of police. I just don't think the execution is so hot of late. I mentioned awhile back..guess I can mention it again. I like the idea of heavily
armored but only lightly
armed police officers. Would go a long way towards curbing some of our snafus by the brute force of averages alone. "Would cut out alot a' them fellars what just joined up with the sheriffs for to shoot a 'coon."

Locking a couple of the fuckers up for life would do that too.

What I have discovered by watching US crime programmes is that they have about fifteen different law enforcement departments with similar job specifications turn up at any major crime, so the first hour of any crime investigation is working whose job it is.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
