Those cops are busting up a strike to protect Amazon's profits. Also if you think the police are on your side over the states/mega corporations then you are dead wrong partner.
That’s the thing cops are supposed to do. Yet they go way beyond that. The fact that I disapprove of all the extra bullshit cops pull doesn’t mean I deny the need for their primary function of protecting victims and investigsting crimes
Buddy, that's literally what guns are for. The cops will take minutes to get there. You don't have that kind of time. You gather you and your family and hide in a room and point your gun at the door. Announce loudly and repeatedly to the intruder that you've got a gun and they need to leave immediately. If the intruder has any brains, they'll leave. If they're dumb, you may be forced to shoot them and that's a terrible day for everyone.
In either case, the only thing the cops will do in most situations is show up after and collect evidence and statements. This isn't even a knock on cops. It's just a reality of the fact that response times are measured in minutes and life-or-death situations transpire over seconds.
Entirely different scenario. Not sure why you think it matters that you need to call cops when you're under threat of murder vs calling cops to intimidate workers into no longer striking. They can still be bastards of the status quo in both scenarios, even if they are potentially helpful in one of those scenarios.
Remember Sonya Massey? Who called officers when she thought an intruder was trying to break into her home?
When the officers showed up , barged into her home, took her for a junkie because it was night and she was tired. Then shot her because THE OFFICERS felt threatened by this skinny woman in a house robe and pot of hot water?
This fucking argument doesn't work anymore, this whole belief that oh you'll support the police once crimes are being enacted upon you shit is WRONG. Officers aren't always showing up to help, they don't solve every crime not even 50% of crimes against civilians, and what's to stop them from shooting me instead of the intruder?
You hate corrupt authorities yet don’t have the millions of dollars in resources allotted to them to defend yourself against a criminal? Checkmate liberal

Cops exist to keep the masses inline. They protect corporate interest and serve the upper class. Fuck these clowns and their corporate overlords
