Ugh....
This collage breaks my heart.
The function of the police now are to control and intimidate. The Citizen with rights, responsibilities, and obligations has voluntarily went the way of the dodo bird. They[Citizens] voluntarily surrendered their rights, responsibilities, and obligations to the Government for the promise of "security". They then became civilians that were given "privileges" by the Government they worship and grovel before.
To demonstrate this, one needs to look no further than this forum. On it one will find legions of jackboot lickers, badge lickers and worshipers who rabidly defend every action, no matter how repugnant, disgusting, or morally wrong it is. When they do this, they are not necessarily defending the police, but defending the Government they worship and grovel before, because the police represent the government and when they defend their actions, they are defending their god, the Government.
