I wasn't going to engage, because lets be honest, there's no point, but I happened to scroll past these the other day, and you've given me a good opportunity to use them, and others might enjoy, so:

"but if we don't have the statemurder squad, who will fill out paperwork after my house is robbed and laugh when i ask will i get my stuff back"

It is a privilege to think the police will protect you

Damn generalizing a large group of people always works out great right?

I really hope you never need an officer for anything, but if you do I hope you’ll remember this conversation and maybe walk away with the right lesson.

Assuming they're able to walk after the officer is done protecting and serving them. If you can call the police or approach an officer without concern then you don't understand the reality a lot of people live in.
