In Mexico the people doesn´t trust in police men because of corruption.

In the news, there´s at least one event where a policeman is involved in drug traffic, robbery or kidnapped people. I mean not all the policemen are bad elements because the media only show the "dark side" of this corporation. So, the people learn to be afraid about police.

In rural communities, sometimes the people take justice in their own hands because they don´t trust in the police.

OK, hilarious darkness, you are a police officer and you ask why everyone hates police officers? So, do you hate yourself? Does your family hate you? Laughing

I don't hate police officers. My family doesn't hate police officers. I've met people who do hate police officers, but most people I've met do not. Here in China, police officers have been helping with earthquake rescue efforts. Do you think people hate them?

Please, give just a little thought to what you write.

yeah..people usually hate policeman since the police can't be trusted! They bring their problem to police officer, but they get another problem. So..if someone's house are robbed, he don't wanna report to police. He solve his problem by himself. Bring the problem to police, just to make new problem. Beside that, some polices give a bad name for all police with their attitudes. Such as arrogant, corruption, etc. But I still hope there is still a few good man in that institution.

But surely Muslim police officers are wonderful, because they are Muslims and everyone knows Muslims are fantastic because pop and her friends say so and the Koran says so – so it must be true!

I think all police officers should be Muslims so that we can all live in happy-happy-la-la land!

I dont hate police officers..some of them are heroes, some of them give the institutions a bad name.

Police in USA: very nice, took me home when I got lost for the very first time and cried lol (not what a lady would do),

Police in Rome: such a gentleman, stopped me for riding a scooter in a wrong road (it should be a one way road but I didnt know) then when he knew I cant speak Italian he used this body language and pet my shoulder then asked about the scooter's owner (I think I got my friend in trouble back then for letting me ride his scooter alone),

Police in Indonesia: looked at my cleavage and talking shit to his fellow police when I report about my missing wallet before I started to talk in Indonesian. ha he thought I was a chinese tourist.

Police in Iraq: smiled in a lusty way that us ladies workers were so scared to be around them without some foreign soldiers around us. 

 

okay so most of them are traffic police but those were my experiences back then Laughing

Police in my country (Russia) is a huge institution. Those who don't want to enter a university or work hard join police structures at the lowest levels. They obtain power and weapons and they use it with great pleasure. These "policemen" are ones you can face in the street at night. If they want, they will take your money, your cell-phone and whatever valuable you have. They can even hit you. It is a forth that (officially) supports the order, but in fact works as a tool of citizen's intimidation.

I'm not saying all of them are that bad. Investigators are great. 

I avoid policemen. I don't hate them, but I'm mistrustful to them.

Mark, your humour have really made me rolling on the floor!.. :D But why being so hostile?

In my country, we respected the policemen; because they are trying to do their jobs perfectly. They are waking up in the night for our safety and comfort. Their duties also sometimes extend to solve the conflicts occurs in the family e.g. between wife and husband. About bad policemen, I really don’t know but I believe that they’re existed, everything can be expected, but why didn’t explain what is this bad side. I remembered when I watched Indian movies, there were bad policemen who worked with criminals and thieves, and arrested innocent people. They get corrupting money or threaten by criminals or bad people.
