Indonesia

Criminal investigations into human rights violations by the police are rare and also punishments are light. As well as, Indonesia has no independent national firm to deal effectively with public complaints.

Austria
Over there, there is an association made between Vienna’s drug problem and the city’s African migrants, which have led to African migrants being racially profiled.

Pakistan

Just recently, a case of hit and run was take place. A guy killed someone and caught on video, yet the police let him walk. Half the cops in this country would do anything just for money.
Public’s Perspective About Brutality
All around Europe, white people kill the black people. Recently, similar thing happen to George Floyd. And his death was caught on video, a nine minute video which started a movement all across the globe.
Riots were taking place every day and even then, the cops did not bring justice. They went to jail a month later and that’s when the people just sort of calmed down.
In Asia, people are captive by the police and executed just because the police felt it was right. When people hear intruders in their house, they don’t call the cops. They defend themselves. That’s how afraid people are of the police.
Personal Opinion
Honestly, the police don’t go to prison. They rarely pay for their crimes and it needs to change. The system needs to change. What do you do when the people who are responsible to protect you, are the ones you need protection from?
