I challenge you to find a sector of society to whom police (and their unions) are not antagonistic.

Other police officers
As long as they stay quiet about any internal issues.
I don't think you've spoken with actual police officers much, there is huge divide between state police and local police in the US.

I’m sorry you think that, you’d be wrong on the assumption though.

If you're going to take the time to respond to the throwaway portion of the comment, why not respond to the actual counterpoint which was the reason for the comment?
Didn’t feel like it. But thanks for asking
The 1%
Yeah, but the 0.01% is where the clout is.
most society sectors that happens to be outside America
ah, lazily sourced anecdotes presented as data, pinnacle hn

third image is already from 2014, not an impressive case density then, is it?

That's absurd. Your parent post said, "most society sectors that happens to be outside America". All it takes to disprove is a few examples. I showed you a search link to pages of them.

Don't be lazy, blaming others for an unscientific bias in your own post is a logical fallacy.

so one case e every four year average is enough to claim that all police is as antagonistic as USA's

sure.

Why do you keep changing the subject of the discussion?

First, you wrote that most police and police unions are not antagonistic towards sectors outside of the usa.

Now, you wrote what is called a red-herring or a strawman.

You made a very strong but incorrect statement at first. Strong statements are easy to debunk, just with a little proof. I provided a link to pages of that. It's very telling that you now characterize that as "one case every four year average". That's telling, indeed.
