Hi all

In reply to everyone here, I can only say that my experiences with police officers in the two Australian states in which I have lived have been positive, and this is from various perspectives. I have worked in justice systems, and relied in police officers on occasion to serve court documents with or for me on some quite unpleasant types and have always met with great support. On the alternative side, I have been part of animal rights protests, and found that provided we treated the police officers present with respect they did likewise.

I have seen corruption in lots of other organizations however, particularly government departments.

I think it may be that we want to hold police officers, and others who have authority under the law to a higher standard than we hold the wider community, and obviously for various reasons there will be some who cannot sustain that. But the system is terribly hard on those people who "crack" often with no bad intentions.

We need to recognize human nature in this. The overwhelming majority of police officers are good people, there for the right reasons, and doing an extraordinarily difficult job. After all, they must see, and clean up things most of us wouldn't want to see in our worst nightmares.
