What needs to instill a sense of fear is the judicial system. The thugs know that the cops can dress whatever way they want - but they still won’t shoot - and that in any case, when the thugs get before the judge, they’ll still be let off with a wink and a nod.

Andy Taylor was the perfect cop. Respected by all, and only feared by those who really needed their butts kicked.
And then he put those size twelves to good use.

Delaney said a sense of "fear" has been missing for the past few years. Fear in the criminals or in the citizens? I dare say the latter. Criminals aren't scared of stark uniforms, but citizens will be.

And these people wonder why the general population does not trust them anymore. The youth of today will not go to a police officer for help anymore, because they are afraid of them, my six year old grand daughter included. They scared her out of her wits about a year ago at a traffic stop.
To many Rambo wannabes out there.

Police want to instill fear in the population to make them more compliant.
What other groups uses fear to force changes in their targets?
The Mafia? Yep.
Terrorists? Yes again.
Totalitarians? And once more, bingo.
Sounds like the Masstards are finally taking the wrapper off their shiny new police state.

“Since love and fear can hardly exist together, if we must choose between them, it is far safer to be feared than loved.”
Niccolo Machiavelli, The Prince
And it’s easy as well, since fear can be commanded, whereas respect needs to be earned.
