The problem with cops is, they see a law, pretty much any law, as something they must enforce. Anyone breaking a law is a bad guy. The problem with that is the massive number of laws which have no legitimate purpose or constitutional basis. The people making these laws are criminals, and those who enforce these laws are enforcers for those criminals. The fact that the American population is largely brainwashed and pays for the continued abuse, in no way makes it acceptable or right. Police enforce the law. They are law enforcement officers. And the laws are corrupt. Therefore, by default, any person enforcing a corrupt law, is also corrupt, and no amount of protesting that they were following the law or orders of their superiors absolves them from the wrongdoing.
