      Creating a fundamentally adversarial relationship with the people they’re (supposed to be) protecting

      Fundamental misunderstanding as to the role of police in a capitalist society. They’re not there to protect you, they’re there to enforce laws which are designed to maintain the structure. It doesn’t matter how friendly and nice a cop is when they’re called to carry out an eviction, to haul off a worker who assaulted a business owner who refused to pay them, or put down a protest.
