The difference between Finnish and American police, addendum

A year ago I wrote a blog post about how different the Finnish and the American police forces are, when it comes to people blatantly breaking the law while "protesting". While for the most part the American police just stands on the sidelines watching it happening (which makes them complicit in those crimes that they are allowing to happen), the Finnish police actually upholds the law and arrests the criminals who are breaking it.

It just keeps happening again and again. About a week ago a group of retards, of the "extinction rebellion" group, were blocking traffic in the Finnish capital. Most particularly they were blocking a tram track, which stopped trams from traveling.

This in itself is extraordinarily retarded. Trams are some of the least polluting forms of public transport, and precisely the right direction if the aim is to reduce emissions. Yet these mental retards blocked trams from moving.

Anyway, the police arrived and ordered the group to disperse. The right to protest is enshrined in the Finnish Constitution, but the right to protest does not give you the right to break the law, and disrupting and blocking traffic is illegal.

About half of the people in the group left (without consequences, rather magnanimous from the police, but whatever), the other half refused. The police arrested them, removed them by force, and gave all of them fines.

That's how it's done: When people are breaking the law, the police arrests them. The police doesn't just stand there watching it happen, doing nothing to stop it. The lawbreakers must be arrested and their criminal activity stopped.

I cannot comprehend how this simple notion cannot be inculcated into the heads of the American police. I also cannot comprehend how they get away with it, again and again. Surely if the Finnish police were to refuse to arrests these criminals, there would be investigations and consequences.

Not so in America. Why? I have no idea.

And the worst thing? Nobody cares. Not a single soul. Not on the left, not on the right, not on the center. Nobody. This is, perhaps, the biggest mystery of all to me. Why nobody cares.
