Smart people want the Police around.
Hell even the brain dead rioters yell for the Police when real trouble comes along like having a bicep blown off...
F the Pigs, kill em ... um wait, Help POLICE Save us!
>> Smart people want the Police around.
The smart people are paying the salaries and likewise deserve the enforcement.
People with a stake in this country and society want police (and usually contribute to the maintenance of the police forces); unassimilated dreck that just sees police as an obstacle to a life of crime and violence don’t want them. Many of the protesters are this dreck themselves, or their relatives.
