Show me a position of authority/power that doesn't attract the least desirable kind of people you want in that position; those seeking to abuse it.

At least in the USA we have the right to document these interactions with video footage.

Very, very true. I mean, look at the presidential position; it’s attracted literally the worst person I’ve ever seen in a position of power in a ‘free’ country. :/

Least desirable person, indeed - and that person was chosen by the people. It’s what facepalms were invented for.

Please check some civilized countries with "undesirable regulations" and "governing bodies" which puts in checks for authority misuses.

Nationalistic flamewar will get you banned here. No more of this please.

Nice.

Do you really think you can toss bombs like "please check some civilized countries", or "how un-civilized and rotten $country is", and not start a flamewar?

A good rule of thumb; if you're writing about politics, and it takes less than a minute to write, and you're not correcting something specific (preferably with a link), don't say it.
