The function of the police is to enact the violence of the state and thus by proxy, capital. Hence, police are by definition always at least some degree of fascist.
Yeah, it is a decent education that is required to become a police officer here, unfortunately some stupid crap is going on with the police here in Sweden.
The requirements for being a police officer has been reduced in steps, this is due to the status of the police job has been lowered, so fewer people apply.
This is infuriatingly stupid. There has been scandals where gang members have infiltrated the police, a few years back an employee of the police was caught letting unauthorized persons access the police database.

So far the police forces in Finland, Norway and Sweden seems less bad than most.
Yeah, who would have guessed that the Vikings would end up being the most civilized culture on the planet.
Finns weren’t quite vikings
I like to call my finnish friend half russian so he turns bright red and starts throwing his arms around like a blind gorilla
