    They exist to prevent crime and to catch criminals.

    Nobody suffers more at the hands of crime than the working class.

    The rich are safe and sound in their gated communities and penthouses with private security. It’s the working class who have to deal with this sort of shit.

      They really really don’t, never have done.

      Nobody suffers more at the hands of crime than the working class.

      Why do you think that is? There’s a reason cops are called class traitors

      The rich are safe and sound in their gated communities and penthouses with private security.

      Right, and the police is the private security of the state, there to defend it and its interests (and those of the rich who actually call the shots, it isn’t private police arresting anti-oil protestors, in defence of the interests of the oil industry for example), not you and yours.

      PLEASE tell me… How… HOW do cops “prevent” crime when they only show up AFTER a crime has been committed? It’s like you people never think about a damn thing you just parrot and parrot. Sad.
