Two of my friends want to join WAPOL and they are both nice women, but I wonder whether the cop culture will chew them up and spit them out, or turn them into bastards.
Lived in WA most of my life, never had a problem with WA police.
Last time I visited Sydney in 2019 it began to feel like a city from another country and the police presence was a large part of that.
One thing I’ll never shake is the guards stationed outside the AFP building in the CBD with automatic weapons. Only places I’ve ever seen a sight like that are places like Mindanao in the Philippines, where insurgent terrorists are a real threat.
It feels like law enforcement is increasingly willing to incite and provoke violence so they can claim credit for, or otherwise politicise, their response.

It doesn’t, but the trauma they’ll be exposed to will impact them eventually.
