The quality of the cop is irrelevant when their entire purpose in existing is to serve the rich owning class by oppressing everyone who gets in their way.

Stop making excuses.

In developed countries they serve the people instead of just the ruling class. Get out of your country sometime. Not everywhere is as bleak as yours.

I wonder where you think I'm from..

Either way, you're the one who needs to expand their narrow view, not me.. Here are some links I happen to have to hand, feel free to look things up for yourself in your own time (lol, as if..)

Well, that's a product of capitalism not the US. It's more blatant in the US, but it's how any capitalist society is organized.

It's a structural property of capitalism, not any nations specific implementation of policing.
