  the police are a problem everywhere.

  And yet no other city or town experienced these issues. It’s a NSW Police and Sydney culture problem.

    Just because you aren’t paying attention, does not mean it’s not a problem. Yes the other protests went well, but consider if there were more Chris Minns. Imagine if One Nation is in power, how would they utilise the police? They are only as good as the person giving them orders. This is why they are a problem everywhere.

      Putting aside the fact that you just agreed with me that police in other states and territories do not have this problem, “imagine if they also had Chris Minns” completely ignores the second part of my reasoning. Sydney has a culture problem and consistently elects terrible politicians. Other cities do not have this cultural problem, therefore they do not elect Chris Minns, therefore they do not have insane people utilising the police against protestors. Live in denial if you want, everyone outside of Sydney knows it is a shithole and not representative of the rest of the country.

  Two of my friends want to join WAPOL and they are both nice women, but I wonder whether the cop culture will chew them up and spit them out, or turn them into bastards.

    Lived in WA most of my life, never had a problem with WA police.

    Last time I visited Sydney in 2019 it began to feel like a city from another country and the police presence was a large part of that.

    One thing I’ll never shake is the guards stationed outside the AFP building in the CBD with automatic weapons. Only places I’ve ever seen a sight like that are places like Mindanao in the Philippines, where insurgent terrorists are a real threat.
