In The Loving Care Of Maltese Cops, Reflexions

• Cops are sick.
• Cops are like mafia killers, or nazi soldiers: they follow orders, without asking questions, with no regard for justice.
• They treat citizens like cattle: I did five or six “travels”, in less than 20 hours.
• They put a lot of stress on you (insults, sarcasm, dress downs, threats, ominous silences).
• If you are weak (a young man, a gay, a foreigner, a woman, an old person), they will make you pee in your underwear, and might lead you to self-incriminate, even if you are innocent.
• They keep you in the dark concerning your rights, your future, why you are under custody, etc...
• They are all about power and order, not about justice.
• They always assume you deserve what is happening to you.
• Like any small time criminal, they know the legal guarantees of the judicial system (burden of proof, right not to self-incriminate, unacceptability of hearsay) protect them, and they use it to commit crimes/indecencies with impunity.
• They commit crimes on a massive scale, but are desensitized to it. Contrary to most people, they feel comfortable using violence on a daily basis. It has lost, for them, its unusual character. They don't see it as something unusual and dirty to be used as a last recourse.
• And keep in mind that Malta, whatever the bad things one can say about it, is a cool, small, peaceful and relax country. A relatively free country where cops roam the streets disarmed. Now just imagine how cops behave in more authoritarian countries (France, Amerika, Portugal, Turkey, etc...).
