Police care about protecting you just as long as your interests align with the interests of the state, is what I said. For most people, these two things align.

Police care about protecting you just as long as your interests align with the interests of the state, is what I said. For most people, these two things align. Most. Not all. That is my point. I live in a community that the police absolutely have no interest in protecting. We are a problem to be dealt with, not a community to protect. Not everyone has that experience, I understand that. But police are, by virtue of who pulls the purse strings, an extension of the power of government. I never said all police don't care about protecting you. I said they absolutely care about protecting you, as long as your wants align with the needs of the state.
