Sure police have downsides and upsides. On the upside they will allegedly help you if you are burglarized, raped, robbed, etc. They hunt down murderers and child molesters and all kinds of fine shit that is overall quite good for society. On the other hand, they ruin peoples lives over drug crimes, they enforce censorship laws ruining peoples lives over information, they protect the interests of a corrupt power elite that is only concerned with itself and not with what is best for everybody and morally acceptable, they do all kinds of nasty shit. The thing is that these behaviors can be separated! If Bob the plumber fixes my broken toilet then he did a good thing , and since I am not a plumber maybe he even does something that society requires to function at its current state of efficiency. On the other hand, if Bob the plumber fixes my toilet and then ass rapes me , I am not going to defend Bob the plumber on the grounds that he does something good for society as well. Rather, I am going to strongly suggest that we fucking kill Bob the plumber, and replace him with Joe the plumber who does not ass rape his customers. Law enforcement as a theoretical construct is fine and dandy, perhaps even indispensable for a good section of society. The law enforcement that we have in practice, in every single country in the world, is like Bob the rapist plumber. They do not need to be apologized for on the grounds that they offer services that society can not do with out, because these services could just as well be offered by people who are not vicious fucking slave traders. Nobody is really saying fuck law enforcement in general, we are saying fuck these plumbers who ass rape us after fixing our toilets, let's kill them all and replace them with some new plumbers who don't ass rape us after fixing our toilets. At the end of the day we are far too passive. We are far morally superior to our enemies, they attack us mercilessly and unprovoked, and most of us are too afraid to even say that they are evil in doing so. Rather, many of us try to apologize for them, we make excuses for what they do, it is like saying Bob the plumber is a damn fine plumber so who cares if he rapes his customers? It is like saying Bob the plumber is just doing his job, who cares that in the process of doing his job he rapes his customers. I think the issue is that psychedelic users in particular tend to be pacified by the drugs they consume, it gives some people a more childlike mentality of naivety and always trying to see the good in things. Don't let that personality profile turn you into a fucking Nazi apologist.
