Reading this, I think I'll stay on this side of the ocean for now. Here at least you know that anyone carrying a weapon is an idiot to steer clear of (or a police officer).
Part of this discussion also makes me think of police brutality videos. You don't know what happened before. That being said, the violence level of Dutch police officers is probably much lower than what is seen in the US (because anyone else with a weapon is a criminal, it is easier to spot when force is not required).
We did have a case here where the complete video gave a completely different context, showing the officer was completely in his right to use the force he did.
I agree that spitting is gross, and even more offensive in these COVID times.
That was quite a list of jobs you did at one time...

I hear you - you make a good point. Generally, where the level of violence is lower, the policing is friendlier. We really need to lower the temperature around here.
It's also a problem of the 'corporate culture' in different places, because this is such a big country with so many different traditions and laws.
Yeah, I did do a lot of different jobs.
