So basically they're still Nazis but they are targeting another group of semites.

Cops love fascism. It let's them live out their fantasies of hurting people.

Passive, meek and nice people don’t tend to do well in the military/police.

Your job is literally to hurt people when necessary, without hesitation.

It takes a certain type of person to do jobs like that and the thing is… you still need people like that for society to function as it does.

Edit: If you are downvoting at least respond.

The UK has a policy of policing by public consent (Peelian principles based on an ethical police force) and the police are on the whole not militaristic nor thuggish. Of course you get those who are criminal (murderers, rapists, corrupt) and racial profiling still exists, but having moved to Germany from the UK, the difference came as a surprise. The UK has an independent police complaints commission to investigate police brutality and keep oversight, Germany does not. Amnesty has also reported on the erosion of civil liberties in the country.
