- krapp 4y agoCops don't protect the rights of the people, lawyers and judges do. Police have no duty to protect the public, their job is to enforce compliance with the law and protect the state's monopoly on violence. And even if they did, they shouldn't get special kudos just for just doing their job. They get their paycheck and pension and all the free donuts and coffee they want, that's enough.
