Is it my idea or Europe takes things more seriously than the US does?
Another way to look at it is Europe shows once again it has a strong government intervationist culture which easily throws individual and private business freedoms in the trash.
It also has a huge percentage of the population on government payroll so the public outcry is limited.
Training bjj with a cop, which along other cops in our gym is an overall nice guy, but he's been stating his work schedule a few weeks now, and it appears he works 2 nights a week, and gets a full salary. This training session is in the morning btw, most of the other folks participating there have lost their job since the lockdown started
So police is outside fining people who try to work iand get some money in the private industry, while they themselves get full salary for 2 nights a week work ?
Many civil servants haven't been working at all lately, while getting their full salary, so police is not the worst culprit here.
My undestanding is morale is very low among policemen as the rules have been changing at a crazy rithm in Spain, and they haven't shown much zeal to enforce the regulations over the last couple of months, although now the declared enemy of Society appears to be nightlife and quite a few tickets are still given at night ( there s a curfew going on)
