Trust - in officials

I come from a country (Finland) that is one of the least corrupt in the world. We are also one of the only nations who have a positive image of the police. Even in Germany, many people see the police as somehow fascist (maybe to some extent correctly, as there are connections to the neo-nazi scene and even the klu-klux-clan). In the past days, I have been appalled at some news on corruption from around the world. Yesterday, Argentine's courts found not guilty a gang of known forced prostituters (i.e. who kidnap and force people - mainly women and young girls - into prostitution). A mother who had lost her daughter (who herself had a two-year old) and had never found her lead this struggle on behalf of several hundred other cases. I sometimes think I am too naive for this world.
