You defend the upper class’s enforcers when you give leniency to any. Even “good” cops follow the law, which is weaponized against specific (see: racist) demographics and lower-class citizens.
To defend any police officer is to perpetuate the well-designed system of oppression. A true good cop would quickly find themselves on the wrong side of history, and resign, as some in the past have done.
Well I’m glad you have had the privilege of living that way. Now let’s work together to make that the norm?
No, no, no... don't pretend that police is some "ancient aspect" of civilization - police, as an institution, is a very recent invention. In fact, the police as we know it today is a purely capitalist and colonialist invention. Do not pretend otherwise.
That can only be true if you believe that protecting the property of wealthy parasites at the expense of everybody else is (somehow) "necessary for society to function."
That might have something to do with the fact that your protest posed absolutely zero threat to the status quo - you know, the status quo that was busy doing it's best to turn women into little more than breeding stock for the patriarchy?
Stop apologizing for the right-wing goon institution just because they haven't targeted you... yet.
