police

"people change their minds when they find themselves needing the police". They've got us over a barrel cos the state has smashed mutual support networks and then makes everyone go to the state on its own terms, in which case we're then supposed to feel grateful to the bastards whose fault it is that we "need" them in the first place. If cops were doing such a good job, there wouldn't be any crime so we wouldn't "need" to call them at all. All societies with states have high crime rates whereas primitive societies had no crime even though there were no cops. Anyway, if you happen to need help, you're as likely as not to be told to piss off or even beaten up yourself for being a troublemaker - e.g. Asians in Oldham, UK reported race attacks and firebombings by Nazis, cops turned up and started beating Asians. Then there's an uprising and all the bloody morons come out shrieking cos people were fighting the cops. All this about the cops being useful is fucking bullshit.
