MY HUSBAND'S PARSE IS BETTER THAN YOURS
It can be pretty incomprehensible to me, sometimes. I married into a Finlandssvenska family and I live in a town with a lot of Swedes, so I really haven't put the most effort into learning Finnish.

Already read it. It's about how trust in other people and how this thing with alpacas is undermining it in a way that might throw us to the level of Turkey where there isn't trust in anyone except some politicians who tell them exactly what they want to hear. Kinda like Halla-aho and his ilk who tell them the Truth that the so-called "free" press obscure behind their blind convictions.

Maybe you should read it for me?

Far leftists tend to not like cops because their primary job is seen as enforcement of order through violence or the threat of it, rather than helping victims of crime. That the bad apples everyone can see are cultivated by a system which lets cops routinely break or decide not to enforce the law as long as they are loyal to the institution (i.e. don’t engage in crime that is deemed to hurt the legitimacy of the police).

The principle is the same for Finnish cops, the surrounding system just demands much more of them, as seen in the amount of training they receive, a culture that tends to see traditional authoritarian methods as signs of incompetence (think Tuntematon) and suspects&perpetrators of crime as equally human to the rest of the population etc. But ultimately the difference is seen in terms of a population forcing the police to take more responsibility despite their systemic tendency toward laziness&criminality.

I just had a middle aged black guy tell to my face that sometimes cops just have to defend themselves, hence it's okay that police in developing countries like the USA slaughter people all the time. In that regard Finnish police are pretty good, even though this country is full of guns and puukkos they don't panic as easily as PTSD ridden American sheriffs do.

It's depressing that the second generation descendents of immigrants aren't getting the recognition they deserve, but are more or less regarded as non-Finn's despite speaking Finnish. That's not good form, and only helps in alienating them from society. I guess that largely explains why a lot of people traveled to Syria to join ISIS.

Generally it's pretty lovely to be in Finland as a foreigner of poor origins, since the courts are willing to bend the rules a bit even to throw a Thai kid back to Thailand from caring foster parents to her reluctant divorced piss-poor father because the court deems it "to her advantage". Just what is the court's agenda on this?

It's the lovely law. The immigration law has this concept of "actual family tie" which supersedes formal, legal family ties. It doesn't matter who has legal custody, the mother who lives in Finland separated voluntarily from the girl years ago and that severed the "actual family tie".

These discussions always revolve around Migri or the courts but more often than not the root is in the law, which politicians could change, but they don't want to, so it's easier to talk about the process and not the law behind the process.

I think some it is more a function of not really being publicly scrutinized enough. Note that I've really more come across them in contract stuff than actual deportation/immigration things though, so a lot of it might be as simple as it is with any organization as far as intitutions go (we're bigger than you, just make this easy on yourself). I'm trying to be pretty general even if we're on a dead gay forum, just to be safe. But hurdles and straight up trying to get one over you that I haven't really run into with other big government actors or if working with municipalities.

edit: Not trying to be paranoid or a tease, just dont like to talk specifics in terms of ongoing things with another/multiple parties involved.

Hmm yes that is why the number of rejections magically increased when Finland started getting a non-insignificant number of refugees and there was the biggest political älämölö in the ages. They just became impartial where they weren't that before...

No conspiracy is required. The asylum decisions are always based on somewhat arbitrary acceptance thresholds that are ultimately set by politicians. When the number of applicants went up, those thresholds were raised by the government. Before you had to be *this* oppressed to get asylum, now you have to be *THIS* oppressed.
