> The more negative reaction they receive from the public, the more they will view themselves at war with the public. The psychology of state police (as opposed to a local sheriff) is gang psychology. They view themselves as an in-group and everyone else as part of an out-group, and they will always circle the wagons against the public. > They also tend to be low IQ, with sadistic personality traits. > Cops have emailed me before and complained about a negative portrayal of cops on this site. Well, I don’t know what to say. Obviously, I’m sure some are good people, just like I’m sure some of the blacks they’ve been at war with for decades are good people. But as a group, cops are an extremely destructive force. > The cops are the only way the government is able to do anything. If there were not people willing to threaten, to menace, to extort, to harm and to murder their fellow citizens in the name of the government, none of this tyranny would be happening.
