Matyjasz, for such a smart guy, that was a stupid comment. In theory, the police are there to help u but that'd reflect in the faith in the police force. Look at studies that disprove this. Many people get paid for sth and make a hash of it.
Should I feel complemented or offended? :)
If demanding from the police to do their job is just a wishful thinking than what is the purpose to have them in the first place? Do you really think that low about polish police?
Well, depends on the context.
True. One could offend someone calling him a princess, still it doesn’t mean that the word princess is offensive.
Sadly, I read that police when approached by black folks who got racially abused generally aren't doing much to tackle with that problem. They just don't want to get involved and make everything to discourage offended people from prosecuting their offenders. It's a real shame.
If that’s true than it is really a very sad state of affairs.
Black policemen here, IMHO, would be targets for racial hatred. They wouldn't command the respect of many communities and would likely get set upon whilst doing their beat/patrol.
Those who abide the law wouldn't mind, and those who don't, don’t respect "psy" anyway. But I do see your point.
