"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Vox Popoli: Police Are Violent, Vulgar, Ignorant Scum

The headline says it best, but Vox got it backwards -- the police are the enemy, and the state the servant of the police. Every public employee, elected or hired, from the lowliest paper-pusher to the president, serves the interest of the police. The police serve no one but themselves.
Their real motto is as follows: "To protect each other and to serve ourselves."
