Who are you trying to kid? Sorry this obviously got under my skin a bit, but it is standing legal doctrine that the police don't even have to protect us. Work for us? They extort money from municipalities all over the nation and call it a "budget". They straight up steal from us through "civil forfeiture". They are assumed innocent in court, even when demonstrably guilty of breaking our laws.
They most certainly do not "work for us" unless you specifically are one of the 0.01%
Edit: I see this is discussed further down. I absolutely get the point being made, I just cannot let it slide. Enough internet for today.
