they're only incompetent when they want to be

if they want to be incompetent here it's because someone else rich is benefitting them

anyway, good riddance but yea

They’re competent at one thing, and it isn’t “finding criminals”.

they're competent at being racist and serving capital

Yeah. I remember reading the statistics for cases "solved", and there is a huge gap between crimes against "property", and crimes against "people". The police force has much more know-how dealing with theft and other kinds of similar crimes than they do with murder, assault, SA, and so on.

I found it really surprising when i heard how low the number of solved murder cases in the US is. Apparently it's something around 20%. Over here, it's in the 70-80% ballpark.

And even then, the % is not such a good metric to look at. Japan has a nearly 100% conviction rate for murder , but it's because they'll just accuse whoever and once you've been charged you're as good as convicted.

reminds me of this case where a Japanese hacker hijacked people's computers to make death threats and the police coerced confessions out of four of them
