Agreed. The police quickly become the enemy of freedom if for nothing else, but to keep their job and income stream to provide for their family. I saw the tyranny of cops in the military. They tend to be people who enjoy ‘cracking heads’ and quickly go back to that when threatened.
This is why we hear about, even in peace time, cops being convicted of murder or jailed for other offenses. In war time, cops become the jack boots regardless of their politics. Pretty soon you were hear from them that they were just following orders. Humans are generally a very weak creature. The Milgram experiment proved this fact.
