They don’t care. So long as there’s no way to hold them accountable to the people they exist to “serve and protect”—they will continue to go around as jackboot thugs.
Police forces should be privatized to destroy their monopoly powers and make them directly accountable to citizens.
Do you think a Seattle police force that works for a private global corporation beholden like GE, to Commie Chinese shareholders with accountability only for more profits for shareholders will protect and serve us USA citizens better?
Sorry but I don't agree, just as I object strongly to a mercenary military. We as USA citizens (not the global capitalist bankers) need to define what functions should be accountable to we the people, and those functions we define are about what consider as government.
The rest are profit centers for owners, not about the country.
