They are supposed to protect and serve the citizens of this falling nation. They are supposed to be one of us, standing up for us. We look to them in times of protection because that is what we were told they were for.
In the end they let us down. The have turned their attention to greed and corruption. Forgetting that they are one of us. They are not part of whom they protect now, the rich elitists that they take pay backs from. Those people would gladly sell anyone of them up the river in order to keep themselves safe and comfortable and the police seem to forget that.
They sold the rest of the general population up the river in order to keep their lifestyles in check, and the people in public service, paid by them, seem to think they are immune. They are being given orders to silence us, and they are following them, almost blindly it seems. That is something we should all be scared of.
We are no linger people to the police of this nation. The do not see us with faces, feelings, families. I am just a chicken, you are a horse, she is a duck. It is a lot easier to hurt and be ruthless to what you view as a lesser life form. We are noting but animals to them, and though the may not physically consume us, they are cannibal's none the less for the way in which they allow and protect those who are stealing our lives. Sentencing us to a slow and miserable death because we simply cannot afford to live.
This is abuse of power in its highest form. This is what monarchies do, and did for thousands of years. Yes a few civilizations flourished, but in the end are any of them here. No. Some being the creators of their own demise, others never paying attention to what was going on around them. This country is doing both.
When those sworn to protect and serve the citizens of their country turn on them. When we become nothing more than cattle to them there is something to be scared of. There is something to stand up against, there is something to take back. The best part is... we outnumber them.
