I think you debunked mandrill's point, although I think you were trying to defend it?Remember the average cop in the world is a high school drop out. Toronto cops much better than Romaina cops have high school degrees and are basically security guards with guns.
Fuck one reason cops in Ontario arrested convicted and railroaded a murder suspect later proven innocent was because he was teen who listened to classical music. Any teen who listens to classical music must be demented and the the case began . . .
The myth of the semi intelligent cop is discussed on John Oliver
They succed because of team work brute force, luck and a few actually very clever cops who don't leave in disgust.
Mandrill's point: cops are smart, do leg work and are careful before laying charges, and do proper vetting.
Your point: cops are dumb. They arrest, convict, and railroad innocent people all the time even here in Ontario, let alone a third world shithole like Romania
