Have you ever actually needed the police? Once you do, I’m pretty sure you won’t feel repressed.
EXACTLY! That's why Uvalde called 200 of them when Children were getting Murdered!
Had someone pull a shotgun at a house party once. I called 911. They wanted to know which manufacturer of shotgun before they'd dispatch a car, and finally showed up 13 hours later.
Such an expansive feeling of freedom and protection! They truly are heros! Like a meatball sub.
ETA: if only they'd thought to call the cops at Uvalde.
Like all those people who called to police and then got murdered?
No. For what? Nobody actually needs police.
