Q: What Is It When Cops Reject Civilian Control? A: What Do You Call A Police State?
"These working class men and women, given extraordinary powers by the state, who actively loathe anyone who doesn't meet their standards of what they think a civilian should be, decided over the past several decades (egged on by conservatives of both parties) that they really shouldn't have to answer to anyone. They went from seeing their mandate as "To protect and serve" to "To control and punish." Period."
