Once the police are defunded, the neighborhood stands between you and destruction.
That's the difference. Start standing up with, and for, your neighbors. Stop giving up your rights. If the neighborhood wants to hire someone let them choose to do it.
The only difference between a cop and a criminal is the badge and a complicit "just-us" system that is guaranteed not to hold them accountable the same way anyone else who acts like them would be.
Toss a flash bang onto a sleeping baby? No charges, great job 'hero'.
Beat / tase / shoot someone who is crippled or elderly? great job hero.
The police, cops, LEO, and FLEO are the ONLY reason this level of corruption is even remotely possible.
Never forget that. Your slavery is directly related to their (F/LEO) being willing to beat / maim / torture / kill at the orders of the wealthy. They are not, and never will be, on your side. They will fight and die to protect their paychecks and pensions. Don't delude yourself. The cops are the transport mechanism for the child trafficking.
