We're really, really not. Read up on the history of policing (in particular, in the UK and the US), come back to me, and then try to say that with a straight face.
A good source (ignore the inflammatory title and focus on the quality of references) is "Our Enemies in Blue: Police and Power in America" by Kristian Williams.
- annoyingnoob 5y agoI'm talking about policing in the US. I'm talking about US citizens all being on the same team as US citizens. I don't and won't trust the police, but it does not have to be that way and the problem is not on my side. I get it, but unless you are talking about civil war we really are on the same team, and theoretically live under the same laws - I get that isn't always the case in practice. Again, does not have to be this way.
