I remember reading about the Italian communist and film director Passolini’s account of the police (specifically, the Carabinieri) directly following the end of WW2, in that they where mostly composed of working class fresh recruits, in their young 20’s and had the task of breaking up the mafia and the fascist parties iron grip on politics.
In this sense, when they kicked down the doors of the mob bosses making backroom deals with nazi’s and plugged them with some good old lead, the police were a progressive force.
