Police is part of the executive branch of government. Enforcing the law should be primary focus along with staying true to the oath they took to protect and defend the Constitution.
The whole protect and serve is a public propaganda emotional feel good. This is by design so that people are indoctrinated and willing to support anything the police want to do, without a thought or evaluation. This pubic meme will character assassinate any person that has a thought otherwise. As W said, "Your either with us, or your with the terrorists". So space for the person who doesn't like unqualified endless wars, killing millions, loosing civil liberties, secret proceedings, no bounds government snooping, and our military men and women dying for a 95% false narrative.
Same thing here, any person should anyone voice decent in how police are used today are labeled with derogatory negative connotations from here to next week. "Your an extremist for not supporting the police." Which it has nothing to do with supporting the police in the job they are suppose to perform. The issue is with what they have morphed the police into, a para-military like organization now filled with gung-ho, pull my weapon and shoot for any reason mentality that hide behind a wall of secrecy, zero transparency, that's been instilled in police forces over the last 15 years.
