The police force was originally created from goon squids who were paid to brutalise union organizers.

When the unions were smashed, the corporatists didn't want to fire the goons (and piss then off), so they devised a way to get the taxpayer to foot the bill.

This would be common knowledge, if schools weren't designed to whitewash history.

All very true.

The drug war helps fuel and "justify" this monopoly on violence.
