I guess I’m just starting to realize how the acceptance of brutal police work coincides with an increase of governmental dependence. You can’t get away with the former without the latter. Most boot lickers are go along to get along - fewer are truly in favor of the statism, but they exist. Heck, they’re right here on the FR.
People were right to fear the formation of police forces.
i’m more afraid of the cops than the crooks.
The clients of the federal government basically have no problem with exercise of state power. They know it is, or will soon be, there for their direct benefit.
