Remember: the police are the agents of the State

There’s an unhealthy amount of cop worship among opponents of pandemic tyranny, so it’s important to remember that police are the armed agents of the State. They do what they’re told to ensure they receive a paycheck. They will not risk that paycheck in order to defend or protect your rights if they are commanded to do otherwise. Just as we seek to place severe limits on the power of government, we must do the same to the police. Wishing to do so doesn’t make someone “anti-cop”, it is merely a consistent defense of liberty itself.
