Because they all take an oath to enforce cruel and unjust laws with violence. Everything we hate about government is made possible and enforced against us because of the standing army of cops, who have almost zero accountability. They work for criminal politicians, not us.
Right, they should be protecting our rights, but most of what they do violates our rights. That’s the problem with government monopoly power. If police/security were privatized, and my HOA hired a police company to patrol our neighborhood, but instead the cops just set up revenue extortion checkpoints, then we could fire them and hire another company instead. Bad cops would get fired, and bad firms would go out of business.
Look, I down voated 4liberty for a certain reason, but I held back on you for another slight contradictory reason.
The basis of what you’re saying is correct, however, in application it has gotten way out of hand. Taking your kids away, taking you from your home and selling it because you didn’t pay the property taxes on land you “thought” “you” owned. Your wife assaults you, calls the cops, she lies, you go to jail......
So much more.
They have forgotten their boundaries and have crossed the rubicon into thuggery.
Most of them didn’t mean to, and may not understand that they did, they’re just going along with the flow of the trend, sheep with badges and guns.
Masks, the TSA, the cop worship, etc. I mean people literally have “Thin Blue Line” bumper stickers to support our oppressors as heroes.

They enforce laws contradictory to the constitution. They should be enforcing the constitution that serves the citizens

Then why are they trying to get rid of elected law enforcement, and even have congress critters calling for the UN to come in and “save” the US?
Your little area just hasn’t been besieged yet. It’s really bad what they are attempting to do with law enforcement.
I fly the thin blue joint not to glorify cops so much but more to piss off lefties.
