They exercise violence on behalf of the political class, to protect the wealthy and keep the masses under control.

C’mon. We need t be fair here. A lot of them can’t even do that.

Laws are threats made by the dominant socioeconomic-ethnic group in a given nation. It’s just the promise of violence that’s enacted and the police are basically an occupying army. You know what I mean?

They violate rights and create revenue. In that order. It's most important they get your ID even if you aren't suspected of of a crime. If you doubt me, try telling them no sometime.

Always record the police.

I love that police officers, aka: Law Enforcement... Have no obligation to enforce laws.

They act at their digression and can't be punished for refusing to help/enforce law.

Besides... Being fired? Just like almost any industry, they just go a town over and get a job doing the same thing elsewhere. Unfortunately nobody wants to pony up a national agency to track such stuff. The closest we get is background checks and references.

Pigs are intelligent loving beings, cops are not.
