Surely the rules are the same everywhere??
You fight with people, the police will come.
You destroy a business, the police will come.
What exactly is there to be distrustful of the police, foreign or otherwise about??
If you are doing nothing wrong, just sitting watching the football, the no police force from any country, will try to arrest you, or anything like that.
Police only get "heavy handed", when the situation calls for them to do so, if everyone was just sitting down, acting normal, then they wouldn't do anything.
So I really don't see what there is to be distrustful over.
