'To serve and protect' or 'to control and intimidate'?

If you see a guy walking along the highway, and you witness a cop car make a U-turn and pull up to him, which scenario do you expect to play out? Do you expect that the cop is asking the guy if he needs help, in other words seeking "to serve and protect" him, or do you expect that the cop is looking for an excuse to harass or "arrest" (kidnap) the guy?

If you are driving down the highway and a cop car pulls in behind you, do you feel safe, or does your heart skip a beat as you check your speedometer? Do you recognize a friend or a potentially lethal predator in your rear-view mirror?

If you are walking in town and a cop suddenly stops to speak to you, do you think he is looking out for you, or do you feel endangered? Do you understand that your justifiable apprehension can be used as an excuse for the cop to assault you at his whim?

I know which result or feeling is much more likely. My thoughts are not due to knee-jerk prejudice against LEOs, it is the result of years of rational observations. If you are paying attention, you will know that the police have become the standing army that the founders of America were concerned about. An army that is armed with weaponry illegally forbidden to you, and which your money is stolen in order to buy to be used against you. And now, that standing army is prepared to "legally" attack you with lethal violence for their masters in government. They are equipped with electric torture devices which they use more frequently with each passing day. They are preparing to "legally" rape you, stab you, and kill you if you resist. In this instance, resistance is completely ethical and justifiable, but the state will never admit it. You are on your own.

The police are your enemy- unless and until they stand up and refuse, unequivocally, to participate in any more violations against peaceable people, no matter what their bureaucratic masters demand. No excuses. The lines are drawn between the people and the state. Recent events are forcing people to choose sides.
