I.E. Among others they're viotatin Peel's principle #9:
To recognise always that the test of police efficiency is the absence of crime and disorder, and not the visible evidence of police action in dealing with them.
Effective policing depends on the consent of the police.
That's hilarious, or possibly frightening, but I think you meant "depends on the consent of the people".
In long form:
The Nine Principles of Policing
To prevent crime and disorder, as an alternative to their repression by military force and severity of legal punishment.
To recognise always that the power of the police to fulfil their functions and duties is dependent on public approval of their existence, actions and behaviour, and on their ability to secure and maintain public respect.
To recognise always that to secure and maintain the respect and approval of the public means also the securing of the willing co-operation of the public in the task of securing observance of laws.
To recognise always that the extent to which the co-operation of the public can be secured diminishes proportionately the necessity of the use of physical force and compulsion for achieving police objectives.
To seek and preserve public favour, not by pandering to public opinion, but by constantly demonstrating absolutely impartial service to law, in complete independence of policy, and without regard to the justice or injustice of the substance of individual laws, by ready offering of individual service and friendship to all members of the public without regard to their wealth or social standing, by ready exercise of courtesy and friendly good humour, and by ready offering of individual sacrifice in protecting and preserving life.
To use physical force only when the exercise of persuasion, advice and warning is found to be insufficient to obtain public co-operation to an extent necessary to secure observance of law or to restore order, and to use only the minimum degree of physical force which is necessary on any particular occasion for achieving a police objective.
To maintain at all times a relationship with the public that gives reality to the historic tradition that the police are the public and that the public are the police, the police being only members of the public who are paid to give full-time attention to duties which are incumbent on every citizen in the interests of community welfare and existence.
To recognise always the need for strict adherence to police-executive functions, and to refrain from even seeming to usurp the powers of the judiciary of avenging individuals or the State, and of authoritatively judging guilt and punishing the guilty.
To recognise always that the test of police efficiency is the absence of crime and disorder, and not the visible evidence of police action in dealing with them.
If your first concern is to not get shot in the head then there is no need to recognise the difference between lawful orders and unlawful ones. You just do what the man with the gun says.
Of course, in some recent cases the cops don't even bother giving orders, so you could be fucked anyway.
The EU accounts are audited every year, to a much higher standard that the accounts of any member state.
Every year the EU court of auditors publishes the accounts, which includes a section detailing the errors in the use of the money by the EU member states.
Didn't I vote for that guy?! Oh wait.. It's not allowed to vote for people so high up the ladder in the EU.
What a bizzare thing to say just after the first election ever where EU citizens got to influence the choice of President of the EU comission.
For you Americans out there here is what happened: All the (sane) parties proposing candidates for the EU parliament announced who their respective candidates for EU comission president would be and pledged to vote for the candidate of the party that got the biggest number of seats. The EPP got the most seats, so their candidate, Jean-Claude Junker was elected presdent of the Comission. (Ok, it's a silly way of doing it, but the member states would never accept a direct election. It's also not so different from the way a UK PM or US president gets elected).
(People in the UK got screwed by the "sane" bit above - for reasons of their own the UK tories left the EPP and the rag-tag of swivel-eyed loons they joined didn't bother to present a candidate, Labour and the Liberals took fright and refused to support their own party candidates for no obvious reason).
You can only vote for the EU parliament which has no power.
Except the power to elect the head of the EU commission, the power to throw out the EU comission in its entirety and the power to reject or demand modifications to any EU law proposed for the comission.

You don't think that those would be good things to teach?

Enough to make an American cop's head explode.
(Idiot slashcode doesn't know how to do an ordered list. Crap).
Oh, yes, forgot about the peace prize I got in 2012.
I'm rather pale.
Not too sure about the war bit, currently I seem to be in a proxy war with Russia, do they count as defenseless?
Nope.
Obama got his peace prize for not being George Bush.
However it does seem that he got it under false pretences, as he seems to be George's harder working brother.

Teach people to how to respect one another and treat others the way they'd like to be treated themselves.
Yes, that should certainly be part of police training.
Must resist temptation to make fission chips joke.
It's all relevant.
You seem the be under the misaprehension that climate science doesn't examine past climate.
We know AGW is happening because we've examined past climate and seen how it works.
Yes, yes, but someone is wrong on the internet.
As Greece has only been democratic since 1974 I'd say, yes, corruption affects young democracies.
There are two European countries that have enough warheads to destroy all towns in America with a population of more than 100,000.
Want to start a game of chicken?
They should go and re-read their history books and remember how close all of Europe was to speaking either German or Russian.
Uh, about 16% of them do speak German.
Because, they're like, Germans.
Idiot.
along with some fusion fuel
You mean like water?
Nope. More likely lithium deuteride.
Like, for example, ACTA. Oh, but the 'powerless' EU parliament rejected that.
Duh, I misread the summary, it's the presidency of the council.
You may have had a chance to vote for him if you were italian.
Byzantine Union of Europe.
You expect the EU to last for over 1000 years?
This is simply untrue.

Curiosity's one sat on the shelf a long time.
I think you'll find that it's 1G, not 512M. /proc/meminfo shows me 830728 Kb on mine.

Don't they known about Debian-KfreeBSD?
What's the bug#?
Is this the same as Chris Murphy | 19 May 02:54 2014
problem with degraded boot and systemd
