    It may well be. Perhaps (just spitballing here) too much Marxism makes the government's heavy hand the bad guy, and when the government becomes the bad guy and takes so many people's freedoms away and acts so corruptly, the police loses credibility by extension.

    And the copy paste returned... name calling since he has no original thoughts.

    So tedious and predictable.

    [b]You can correct me if I'm wrong- but I thought you meant that the police cannot be relied on to protect you- see what they did to Rodney King.


    No, that's not what I meant, but I can see how you would think I did. I just meant that sometimes the police can't protect you.[/b]
    No problem 🙂

    You're certainly correct that the police can't always protect you. A bigger problem of course is that in many communities, the police are viewed not as protectors, but as the enemy- as an army of occupation.

    I hate to cite fiction in support of real life, but watching The Wire gave me a whole new perspective on how police are viewed in some places.

    As we all know, everywhere the black man goes, things just get better, don't they?

    I'll take your advice and call the police if I see the neighborhood falling apart. They'll know what to do.

    Problem solved !

    I don't. I see some medieval noble or wizard contemptuously calling someone else a fool.
