Cops, no matter where they are are not your friends in our opinion. They exist only to enforce the law, they aren't there to be helpful or kind, if they were they wouldn't be cops. They really only exist to catch people out and to lock people away as they are tools of the state no matter where they are.

The only forms of justice which actually help people improve and not do unethical things any more are restorative and transformative justice. Punitive forms of justice and the people that enforce them do not work and are not there to actually improve things.
