Do you feel the police in your country are respectful?

I feel like the police force in the U.K. has improved a lot. They lost the respect of the public but now seem to have turned it around. When I watch how the police deal with the public in the states I can only feel grateful it’s not like that here. I feel respected as our laws keep them in check and prevents them from abusing their power. I can’t speak for everyone here but that’s my experience.

I feel the majority of police are good people who take their job seriously. We just don’t hear as much about the ones who aren’t doing anything wrong. There doesn’t seem to be enough training here and there certainly isn’t enough accountability. We all know the asshole at work - we need to accept that that’s more of a problem when said asshole gets a gun and gets to keep his job no matter what he does. We don’t need our police defunded as some have called for - I think we need the good ones funded and supported well and no tolerance for the bad ones. 🤷‍♀️

@JustNik you see why some say to defund though when they won’t reform the police

@JovialPlutonian we just need to elect those who take reform seriously.

@JustNik I just can’t understand why they won’t reform it, they’d be more respected almost instantaneously

@JovialPlutonian I don’t understand a damn thing in this country right now. 🤷‍♀️😂
