This implies there was ever a time cops weren’t violent pieces of shit.

I’ve heard many stories of cops in the 80s regularly beating on people in my area.

In fact, sociologists like to say cops were invented in America specifically make sure slaves stayed indentured to their owners.

Sure, but they weren't as militarised back then. They were violent pieces of shit with sticks rather than machineguns.

Exactly, they beat the shit out of them because they couldn't turn them to swiss cheese as easily. A revolver only has so many bullets before you have to stand there and load them back in.

Recommend KRS' Sound of da Police. This is literally the second verse:

Now here's a likkle truth, open up your eye

While you're checkin' out the boom-bap, check the exercise

Take the word overseer, like a sample

Repeat it very quickly in a crew, for example

Overseer, overseer, overseer, overseer

Officer, officer, officer, officer

Yeah, officer from overseer

You need a little clarity? Check the similarity!

The overseer rode around the plantation

The officer is off, patrollin' all the nation

The overseer could stop you, "What you're doing?"

The officer will pull you over just when he's pursuing

The overseer had the right to get ill

And if you fought back, the overseer had the right to kill

The officer has the right to arrest

And if you fight back they put a hole in your chest

(Woop!) They both ride horses

After 400 years, I've got no choices

Aim for the head, if you can find it.

We need an official Half Life LEGO set. Imagine the head crab piece.

Isn't the second one a motorcycle cop? I think the leather and helmet are not necessarily a steep up

Just make tanks already, LEGO.
