Writing from the US: parallels to organized crime abounds in law enforcement here as well. Look what happened to Adrian Schoolcraft [1]
> After voicing his concerns, Schoolcraft was repeatedly harassed by members of the NYPD and reassigned to a desk job. After he left work early one day, an ESU unit illegally entered his apartment, physically abducted him and forcibly admitted him to a psychiatric facility, where he was held against his will for six days.
The issue is that people here assume things like this are exceptional rather than systemic.
