I agree. The idea that cops are there to protect and serve us is hilarious. They protect and serve the state and their political masters.

When you interact with cops they see you as a weak person that can be extorted for funds at best. At worst they want submission and control for their egos and that leads to deaths.

Then the courts and judges, the judicial facade of the state steps in to clean up and finish you off. They remind you that it's all a game and you're the one without power. It's all about power.
