You got that one right. The purpose of the police now are to put the fear of God into the law abiding Citizens. and control them. Arresting bad guys is just make work for them until the actual purpose of their existence is revealed. and that is? To herd the sheep to the slaughter pens.
Well, I always say: when TSHTF, wearing blue is going to be a very bad idea. No one will trust them. They will be seen as a universal threat, and people will deal with that.
