"First they came for the Communists,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Jew.
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me,
and by that time there was no one
left to speak up for me."
~ Martin Niemoller
Yes, I Can Break the Law Because I'm a Police Officer
Will Grigg: The totalitarian conceit that people wearing state-issued costumes are exempt from the laws that govern mere Mundanes was expressed with commendable candor by Sgt. Graig Harding of the St. George (Utah) Police Department.

I see it everyday in Honolulu, just in their driving and parking.
They can´t seem to understand that the lack of respect from the citizens is due to their lack of respect for the law.
Instead they just want us to obey unquestioningly. They are more cowardly than regular bullies because they hide behind the uniform and the state.
Walking through downtown Honolulu, I´m more likely to get robbed and insulted for jay walking than mugged or harassed by drug dealers. They at least leave me alone and don´t insult me with the idea that they are protecting me.
