    when was the last time the police actually protected someone from harm? they play candy crush while waiting for children to get mowed down. burglar empties your house? sorry, not way to figure that out. rape victim? yeah yeah we’ll put your rape kit somewhere we won’t even remember. ice thugs asking for the door dash lady in your house? we’ll just lie and say you have to give her up.

    but wait, you’re lawfully exercising your first amendment? nah nah we better make this a war zone.

    the job of the police is to protect capital, not you.

      Police find the perpetrator in thousands of murders and rapes a year. Is that not worthwhile to you?

      Believe me, I am fully aware of the problems with the justice system. It needs vast improvement, but that doesn’t mean it does not serve a necessary service.
