That's not what I was saying
I was pointing out the point Kaz made "they don't fear the police" as if that's a bad thing and people should fear the police

A combination of liberal policies and indulging children too much giving them a sense of entitlement as well as social media where kids/youngsters gain a sense of strength from other like-minded kids which can lead to aggressive response when challenged by authority.

They don't question their own behaviour they just lash out at anyone, verbally or physically, daring to challenge it.

I think a good upbringing that instills the right values rather than an upbringing that just teaches that shouting one's rights and entitlements at everyone is much more productive for everyone.
