Obligatory ACAB
I know several cops and they are all great people. I live in Europe though, and hating all cops isn't luckily considered normal here.
Here in Vic Australia too. They're mostly legends
The only people I know who hate cops here hate them because they either didn't solve their issue, or they are generally known to act like asses.
It probably also helps that nobody carries guns here so they can operate on a shoot last, ask questions first policy
We're hardly immune to bad policing
Victorian police shoot two people after being repeatedly told by club staff that there was no threat.
Victorian police beat climate protestors at mining conference
Victorian police kettle and pepper spray BLM protestors in Melbourne train station - I haven't been able to find this one again but lots of references to Vic Pol using kettling as standard operating procedure.
