There are a lot of malevolent forces who want to burn it all down. Whether that be soldier, or police. They both are supposed to be a wall against injustice. But , sometimes, I agree, they are the wrong people, and should not be in that profession. Most are good.
For every cop out there that means well, there is multiple bad ones. But more importantly, as I stated before, the thoughts and intentions of each cop means little (if anything) when taken into context their FUNDAMENTAL purpose as an institution in capitalist society. Their job is to protect private property and ruling class interests, regardless of how good their intentions may be.
