It’s not necessarily that the police are politicized, it’s that the people controlling them are left-wing anti-American, anti-civilization anarchists. This is the result of Saul Alinsky telling anarchists to put on suits and run for office. It worked. Police are a hierarchical organization directed by the politicians above them. The police are not a free thinking, self-actuating organization. The individual cops probably don’t like their orders but they follow them anyway, because that is their job.
The problem with setting up an alternative organization to do the job that the police were created to do is that the police will be directed against them. We have here the seeds of anarchy. Portland is outlawing surveillance cameras to protect rioters, not the people. The problem is we need to get rid of the present anarchist “governments.”
“Politicized police” was a condensation for the title, which was already very long.
The clarity comes in the column.
