Almost all? You’re grasping at straws. Two of the five stories posted are about a top cop, each from a separate outlet for credibility. There’s a saying that “bad apples spoil the bunch” - and if the head of Finland’s biggest city’s drug and narcotics unit is selling drugs, what does that say about the bunch? The police didn’t even have the skills suspect him; it was the investigative work of an heroic sex worker that tipped off the police.
It’s a catch-22. If they haven’t been caught yet, it’s just speculation, hearsay, and slander. If they’ve been caught, then it’s proof that the system works. Typical statistics like 40% of homicides go unsolved, 50% of violent crime goes unreported. What do you think are the statistics of reporting crime when the people you report it to are also the group causing it?
Your links that you posted was all about the same case. This is the only major case in Finland’s police history. Yes, it is unfortunate and must not be underestimated.
I am not a police sickofan, General thing is that near all Finnish people trust the police (95%), as it should be. You can ask about it from anyone from here.
Your responses indicate you’re not actually reading the links I posted. But fine, let’s ask a Finnish police officer if we should trust the police:
According to the blog, the Helsinki police have assaulted suspects in numerous ways, including pushing them down the stairs. The author highlights the blatantly racist and sexist attitudes prevalent in the police force and accuses officers of using steroids and engaging in sexual harassment.
One post details how officers competed with each other to see who could reach the furthest distance when flinging homeless alcoholics out of police cars while transporting them to shelters at night.
The blog also points out how officers were far more likely to exhibit aggressive or violent behaviour towards suspects with a foreign background. The author criticises the fact that suspected criminal activity on the part of an officer is investigated by the police itself and calls for greater transparency.
Comparison to American police is a pretty low bar. Public surveys are measures of propaganda initiatives, and indicate successful reality distortion, not reality.
