Guess I shouldn't have brought the police into it, 'cause that's a whole separate issue. Police --- like most any undifferentiated group of people --- generally follow their orders, and the biggest problem today is the corrupt people giving the orders, because the government has been corrupted. My opinion is the police are needed to prevent crime, but it depends greatly on who's leading them. It's only too clear they switch to jackbooted thuggery when so guided. In my area I believe they can be saved before going that far, and I'm certain that riots would destroy the town of they were defunded. Our city recently had a local upset election where we booted the council and changed the police chief as a result.
