Default Are you pro or anti-establishment?

Do you believe your government (wherever you live) works for your good or not? Do you support local services like the police and so on? Or do you think the govt is always screwing you over, is intrinsically corrupt and always will be, and do you think the police are biased against either you or a certain cultural type? Would you help the cops if you could, or would you make it difficult for them?

The police do extremely dangerous work. When at their best, they perform selfless acts of great heroism and they serve and protect the citizens of the world.

When at their worst, they become deranged with power, and brutalize the citizens they are supposed to protect. This would describe the two Ohio cops that killed my BFF

Ha! If only this were a black and white question. I can't even vote on the pole. Boo! Someone put anal beads up there so I can at least vote.

I would like to believe that everything with the government was fair and honest, but that would just being naive. I've always supported the local police, etc. But there is a major difference between a small town cop getting paid $15 an hour and a state trooper. I think there will always be corruption no matter what. I honestly don't waste very much time worrying about it either way. But it is a reason for concern.

This is the best i can describe the Puertorican government.

"This is the best we can do"

it's flawed system but it's the only one we got and we can't handle good politicians that tell us it's our own fault we got into the economical mess we are in, we want bad politicians that tell us everything is gonna be magically solved with no budget cuts.

We breed bad politicians and weed out the good ones over here and the citizens here could not care less.

I think its funny, that your personal observation and description sounds as bleak and hopeless as mine does.
