I'm right wing (surprise) and that is one of the more valid leftist ideas. If you're a regular citizen, cops are not your friend. I don't fraternize with cops, I don't talk to cops, I don't get cops involved unless litigation is inevitable and building a legal paper trail is necessary.
We are talking about the same wing of government that held people at gunpoint to enforce desegregation and the fair housing act. Who are acting on orders to treat political dissidents as terrorists. Who let people shoot up and sell drugs in public without recourse.
I don't hate anybody, even cops, but they don't get any sympathy from me for catching flak from the public, and I am under no delusions that they give a damn about "protect and serve". They are predators with zero loyalty to polite society.
