>I also remember seeing a couple police kicking at a guy who was sleeping on the sidewalk. Just kicking him to check he was alive, or just because they could... I wasn't sure. It freaked me out how quick Australian police were to have their hands on their guns in their holsters...
And on their tasers. We're just 20 or 30 years behind the US. Now this can be and is photographed.
Perhaps you need to study law? Then you could find a field perhaps even more full of psychopaths from private schools. What interests me, as I look back, is the more or less complete ignorance of people aged around 20. They'd be good at bluffing. You could be out in the evening enjoying the ambience and someone might wonder about what to do with the jews. 'I suppose we'll have to deport them all'. Now this sounds really weird today, (and should have then). But that is, after all, all the consideration we gave to the original owners, so it was in character. But that was in another time, and sad to say, not a worse one.
I was once accosted by some Israelis in a shopping centre to sell me their range of cosmetics for men. In the course of this I was told about the fanatical Arabs. I said something like 'The Ottomans controlled the 2 velayats (?) comprising Iraq and Syria (?? pure bluff) with only 30 executions a year. She said 'Oh, you read books?' I hardly remembered, I was just annoyed. Ignorance can be safely assumed.
