Police are not police. They are simply paramilitary thugs now. Look at a picture of police in the mid 70's vs mid 80's, mid 90's and mid 00's. That will tell you the entire story of how police change due to the "war on drugs". We the people are the enemy now to them.

They've changed for the worse, but let's not gloss over the fact they've always been adversarial to the people and ineffective at whatever purpose it is they're supposed to serve.
