The cops in Australia aren't too good either. The Police department will hire any douche bag it seems so you have a whole lot of derro's and bogan's supposedly keeping our streets safe. By the way mugging and just general street crime is pretty high over here and if you take one look at the cops you can see why. I once got mugged walking near a shopping center at 2PM. I mean sure at night you can expect to stretch your luck but not in the bloody afternoon! Of course I went to a Police station for help afterwards and they were next to useless.

the last big scandal, which was like 3-5 months ago, involved an officer driving his squad car drunk into a group of 3 motorcyclists who were waiting at a stoplight, killing one and severely injuring the others. the officers who handled the aftermath used some serious diversionary tactics (like taking him to an urgent care clinic so that his blood-alcohol level would be determined by someone unlicensed to do so, therefore not allowing it to hold up in court) and the whole city has basically tried to cover the whole thing up. they've done a pretty good job, unfortunately.
there have been IMPD (and before they merged with marion county sheriff's dept, IPD) stories of questionable nature for years. they're also pretty much all total dickheads. the nice guys are really nice, and the dickheads are total fucking dickheads. it's the most EXTREME police force ever, but with way less snowboarding.

Hey, I'm an Aussie and my best mate is going through the police academy as we speak. If I wasn't on my way to centrelink to lodge my form right now I'd give you a piece of my mind.
But seriously he really is and to be honest when you look at what they pay cops in Australia it's little wonder that they only manage to hire derro's and bogans, of which he is neither. But nobody with an ounce of sense would sign up for the force.

The only way to deactivate the ray beam and fight back the vampire alien threat is with a complicated series of foot patterns on the device's control board that looks remarkably like a DDR pad. We will all praise this man for saving our lives and buy him a mountain of stuffed animals.

Yeah...there's one cop who stops into the store on occasion that actually collects/plays video games haha, and he's one of the nicest guys I've ever met. Really cares about his job too, there've been a couple times he's come in and bitched about others cops roughing up some kid for marijuana possession while there's break-ins and other real crimes happening just a few blocks over...talking about how a lot them are just lazy selfish cowards who want an excuse to pick on people.
So when I think about it I guess I do know a little, but that seemed like typical dickhead cop stuff to me. That motorcycle accident deal is a whole other ballgame though, god damn.

I'm not saying everyone who is a cop is bad, it all depends on the person. If your mate is a nice guy I'll take your word for it and I hope he becomes a fine cop. What I'm saying though is that the force will hire pretty much anyone so as many dickheads get in as people who actually want to be there to protect the people.
