I am saying plainclothes officers are absolutely a form of secret police, and regular police are arguably a form of secret police. I didn't think that before but you and Enkrod have unintentionally made a very strong argument that is the case.
You are correct it's all just word games, but it's a game that seems to have you pretty riled up. Why?
Ah, good! We agree on that then =D
I have a degree in Poli Sci and have written papers (as course work, not academically published in journals) on topics like this.
Beyond that, I'm Autistic, a bit of a stickler for details, and enjoy infodumping.
... And I am currently physically maimed, will probably be more or less bedridden for the next 6 months or so, aside from Physical Therapy appointments... so I have arguably too much free time.
Oof that sucks I'm sorry to hear that. Thank you for explaining that, I was trying to understand where the disagreement was and was getting really confused. Good luck on the recovery!
I am no longer in utterly unbearable, constant pain, and I am improving... still in a lot of pain, but it is lessening, and my range of motion is improving, I can get around with a cane now instead of needing a wheelchair... its a whole bunch of really messed up muscles and tendons at this point, bone fractures have healed now.
Thank you for the well wishes =D
