The fact that you wore a "fuck tha police" t-shirt to high school in the 90s along with all the other preppy suburbanites and that you got all huffy when they made you turn it inside out does not change the fact that your parents would have rung the police the minute a homeless guy fell asleep in your flowerbed.
Similarly your oh-so-edgy statements about police "reaping what they sow" does not change the fact that you would shit in your skinny black jeans the moment the police were not there to stop your hipster barista arse from being soundly whipped.
The police are the predominantly working class schlubs who are charged with keeping some kind of lid on the social problems that we have today, most of which (poverty, homelessness, unemployment) they had no hand in creating. Even the best policing in the world is not going to fundamentally solve those sorts of problems.
Personally, I think it would be a hard-as-fuck job policing a lot of communities in the US, and I'm glad its not me doing it.
