“If you want a picture of the future , imagine a boot stamping on a human face…forever. The moral to be drawn from this dangerous nightmare situation is a simple one: Don’t let it happen. It depends on you.” George Orwell

" the police returns to their role as protectors of the people "

They were never that.

Sigh. What's wrong with you lately.

That's what they SHOULD be.

What's wrong with me? You mean, why won't I agree with you on everything?

In this case, I do agree. That's what they SHOULD be.

AND, I stand by what I said. They were never that.

Well, yeah... What I meant by "what's wrong with you" is that I believed we should have enough of a mutual understanding that you would figure that my sentence of "returning to their role as protectors of the people" meant returning to their PRINCIPLED role...

And I agree, they were never that, but the principle is still valid.
