      Yeah, but OP doesn’t personally suffer…

      Yet.

      But if OP is convinced everything is fine, they’ll never stop it from getting worse.

      And eventually they’ll transitions from “us” to “them” in the eyes of the government and police.

      They’re in that lazy compliance stage fascists support.

        I mean, yeah, it’s not a big deal if you don’t think about it further. I don’t like knowing that the people who are supposed to be impartial and who might have to intervene in a situation in which I find myself in danger don’t think I’m as valuable as a German citizen is. If the police had faced consequences, I would be a lot less concerned, because as you said, bad things happen everywhere. With no consequences, it means there’s tacit systemic acceptance of that type of behavior and attitude.

        As for why a bastard would want to be a cop? You don’t get to witness a man burning alive as a banker.

        As I said, it’s better here, but that doesn’t mean it’s fine or good.
