As a collective they are, but there are always traitors amongst them. This is also why they socially isolate from the places they police.

Also a lot of places police work pays a really nice wage with opportunities for nearly unlimited overtime.

My local metro PD has what’s called “secondary work” where various (large) venues will hire off-duty officers to essentially stand around and be present. Those jobs regularly pay $50/hr and you get to see events for free. These guys rack up insane amounts of “secondary work.” It’s a total racket, a few years ago there was as scandal with a guy working secondary work *while on duty," it’s wildly open to abuse and the police hierarchy protects everyone at every step.

Ignore the other one I fucked up and hit reply with like 2 words.

Anyways its openly corrupt but it is also open to breakdown. The Deputies in my county are only nominally under the sheriff and more or less work as watchdogs on the police themselves. There are also instances where folks who were propagandized end up in the police system but are effectively sleepers against them.

My point is that the police are probably a lot weaker when it comes to unity than we often times think. Frankly speaking if this turns into an open class war I suspect that the police will splinter hard.

I wish the police would get woke. They think they’re on the team with the capitalists because they protect them. Nope, not getting in the bunker, they don’t care how many family dogs you shot to protect American freedom.
