Oddly enough, Keith, I've yet to see any post here criticise the police for protecting the public or helping the victims of crime.
What people tend to say here is that beating the crap out of peaceful protestors is a bad thing.
See there's a bit of nuance here. Criticising the fact that the police are a tool of the state, in order to maintain the staus quo is not quite the same thing as saying All Coppers Are Bastards.
Dunno if you bothered to watch the video posted here by Martase, about "lawful rebellion", but it put the dual role of the police into a very clear perspective.
