Recently in another thread, a few of us started talking about our experiences at the hands of our police force, in the "Autistic son" thread and the discussion took an unexpected turn, where a number of people stepped up including myself, to pass comment.
Subsequently, an organised assault was made on several of people's accounts, where our complaints and refusal to accept the reframing of truth offered by the pro-police faction was said to be "abuse". I've since spent a fair bit of time talking to my mostly NT friends and acquaintances about their experiences, with our modern police force, and it seems my experiences are not so unique.
Most people I know have very little involvement with the police, and generally are complimentary UNTIL they DO need some help and find out how it really works. Here of course, we are more likely to have interactions with them directly, so there is a greater pool of experience available.
SO PLEASE:
Down vote me. if you believe they serve us well, and up vote me if your think they serve someone or something else who isn't us, the paying public.
If you have any stories (good or bad) which you wish to share, feel free to do that, below.
Tried to do a POLL as requested & got an incomprehensible error message and today is not a day where I feel like struggling with someone else's software. (Having used & administrated forums by https://www.phpbb.com/ mostly, I'm not finding this one easy to work with at all).
Just up or down vote my OP using teh little up down arrows. Be careful though, once you've clicked on up or down, your vote is in and can be changed, but not undone.
It's a yes no question, and both the scores and voters are transparent to the audience.
The police aren't trained well to handle people with disabilities or mental illnesses. They do not know how to serve us well. It's unbelievably hard to convict them of crimes. There are monsters among them. I believe majority of people who work in the police force have a power complex.
