No such thing. Ask away!

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

In Greece, last year, a woman asked the police to accompany her to her house because she was suspecting her ex was following her and was gonna hurt her and they told her "the patrol car is not a taxi".
Soon after she was stabbed to death by her ex...
Police can't really be trusted. It is also likely that they might turn on the victim.
The Dark History Of Saskatoon’s ‘Starlight Tours’ In Which Police Leave Indigenous People To Freeze To Death
Saskatoon isn’t the US.
Yes that's the point. I'm replying to one one who thinks this is only an issue in the US.
They asked if cops in the us are that bad and you responded with an article about a Canadian city.
What I believe Wildbus8979 is implying is trying to get the person they responded to to understand is “if cops are this bad outside the US, and US cops are worse, then yes US cops can be that bad.” Could they have clarified or spelled that out more? Sure. Could you have thought out your understanding of their words a little more than your initial reaction that they weren’t discussing the US? Sure.
I think wildbus8979 was deflecting by saying other country's cops are bad too when the US's cops is uniquely bad.
ICE is literally kidnapping people off the streets and disappearing them in countries they've never been right now.
They made an incorrect assumption that some of us are correcting.
What's your issue exactly?
Cops in the US are in the news with ICE kidnapping people and sending them to countries they’ve never been to right now so I’d say cops in the US are pretty bad.
I’d take a RCMP over them any day.
Completely ignoring the fact RCs were used to concentrate the first Nations on Reservations. RCMP would be the exact same as ICE in the US if that shit came up here. Get real
Edit: ffs one of the convoy leaders was literally on the PMs security detail
Not all, but yes. And since it's impossible to know if the one cop you talk to is that bad, or covers for someone who is, best to assume they all are.
It depends. Location, race, social status, and luck determine what kind of experience someone gets
Even if you're white, the police are chronically underfunded and so if you report a crime they often dont do anything at all about it other than maybe filing a report. If your car gets stolen, you're never seeing that car again
Nah - usually stolen cars are just taken for a joyride or something, and then are left on a random street. Eventually someone will report an abandoned vehicle or a cop will pull up to give them a parking ticket, they'll run the plates, and you'll get a notification that they found your car.
They'll also tow it to their impound lot, and you will have to pay the towing and storage fees to get it back.
I work as an interpreter, and sometimes I have to work with the US/UK police. They aren't as evil as people make it seem. Yes, there are some assholes and idiots, but most of the time they're trying to be nice and helpful.
The problem is that the organizations themselves are corrupt and these "nice and helpful" cops will side with said corrupt organization and the piece of shit criminal cops they protect 99 times out of 100.
You had me at "offered snacks"
Well. Are you white and cis-passing?
What does this mean?
Basically "Not looking like you are transgender".
News items are news because they are rare. The US amplifies it's negatives in search of eyeballs and in search of fixing problems. The average officer is average, not the extreme you see on the news.
Yeah but whenever multiple cops show up to a scene, there's almost always one bad cop there. Then the "average" cops don't do a thing to stop the bad one, and you end up with a bunch of bad cops.
