oppress might well disagree with Mr. Sutton.

great deal of power I think they see themselves that way.

Happening with the fundy religious, and the the clowns that took over the wildlife refuge, now the cops.
There is an organized feeling behind this idea.

because of the power that they hold. Hitler convinced the German people that they were an abused minority and thus they had to do something about those who were making them suffer. The Concentrations Camps held not just the Jews but a who lot of other people he used as his scapegoats.

Germany saw themselves as abused by the treaties that ended WWI and they were more or less right on that issue but when it came to who to blame they were dead wrong.

Maybe people are just tired of the growing police state, the near-total lack of accountability, and cops acting like they have a license to steal your stuff because a dog looked at it funny.

Then of course they should be protected if attacked because they are a person of color, LGBT, or whatever.

But for being a cop? No.

n/t

They can only kill with impunity most of the time, and sometimes they have to take paid administrative leave until the news cycle blows over.

If that's not oppressed, I'd like to know what is.
