      You may be right but I see it more as an overlap than an all or nothing scenario.

        It is all or nothing. I’ve been trying to drill this into the skulls of liberals and leftists for the better part of a decade and it’s still barely getting through. There is a reason we say ACAB. ALL cops are bastards.

        The police are our enemies. They protect and serve the ruling class. They will turn on us without hesitation. I am literally begging you to wake up and realize this basic truth.

          Nope. Cannot buy into that “all or nothing” scenario at all. I do agree that rich people will hire dirty thugs to protect the things they own. I think the main issue is rich people running things, not communities. I agree with your basic truth about violence ruling the world, not democracy though.

            They already did, they’re called the police!
