    Well yeah one are peaceful protestors, the other is armed. Cops get scared when someone else can fight back on an even playing field. Even if that somebody is a horrible monster murdering children. They didn’t join the force to protect people they joined so people had to do what they say.

        It was actually ruled they exist to protect property. So you aren’t far off from the truth. We live in backwards land. The changes were so imperceptible, that we didn’t even notice them replacing the sky with the ground.

          Imperceptible to someone completely ignoring history and the world around them, sure!

          The concept of state sponsored police in the US originated in slave hunting gangs. The US never changed since the beginning.

          To your point though there is an incredible amount of brainwashing. Your average North Korean is less brainwashed than Americans, at least they know what other countries have.

          Americans think they are the last beacon of civilization and the developed world is in ruins when it’s literally the other way around lmao.
