Police in Europe are less fucked up than in the US but generally still suffer from all the same sorts of problems, they’re still pigs
Here in germany i think the main problem areas here are more the groups like Special Task Forces, etc. They tend to attract a specific kind of people and sort out early on what does not fit their mindset.
In the normal police force there are quite a lot of people with migration background. up to 35% in some areas. That helps immensely to keep assholes in check. Apart from the better and longer (3 years) training and the focus on de-escalation.
