"State Enforcement Officers".
A police officer is meant to be a citizen being paid to render as a professional service what every responsible citizen is meant to do anyway. Apart from that difference, there is nothing separating the police from the citizenry. Nothing. But give some men a badge, and they assume an authority that God did not intend to be conferred upon them to begin with. They cease serving the people and begin acting as lackeys for the government.
They shouldn't be state-enforcment, they should be peace-upholding. And these cops failed to do that.
"Revenue Enhancment Officers or Revenuers".
