I would say it is the former. I do not send police out in dangerous situations to protect me. The GOVERNMENT sends police out to raise revenue, primarily, and incidentally to enforce compliance at the point of a gun. They do not protect.

Excellent way of putting it! I’ve tried arguing this with my liberal, as well as my African American friends, so many times. I’ve asked them a simple question every time they complain about police brutality; “If you want BIGGER government then EXPECT a larger police force to inform the will of the STATE!”
