We all have stories about Kuwaiti cops and their atitude and something simple ignorance. Yet, since I live in here so I have a different perspective of it. So yesterday when speaking with the Egyptian guard about the World Cup the conversation went to Egypt winning the African Cup and how the celebrations where in Egypt and in Kuwait, and how streets were closed in Farwaniya, and Hawalli with celebrating Egyptians. Then he mentioned something interesting “Kuwaiti cops are respectable”.

This really caught me off gaurd .I recall Egyptians and Indians always complaining about Kuwaiti cops their racism. He then explained, your cops treat everyone equally, they never demand bribes, or harrass us. He then explains how when they do catch up or his friends doing something wrong and giving them a ticket, they will get angry and annoyed, but as he put it “we did something wrong, and deserve it, we accept it”.

It was good hearing this from a simple Egyptian worker, cause you never hear the good Kuwaiti cop stories, just the bad ones. It is like bad apples in a batch, the sour ones create the loudest complaints, but the good ones just put a quiet smile on your face.
