One of the primary purposes of the police is to be able to break labor uprisings. This is so wrong and should be prevented in the strongest way possible. What do you all think? Is the U.S. constitution able to restrict police?

People from outside the U.S., what do you think of this type of idea?

That's what the US is all about.

Our Constituon starts off, "We the people...."

People have bastardized these words. It does mean like "we the people" are fed up!

It means we the people, as in, "we the people, without reference to any king or God, form a government among ourselves."

The idea of people being in charge law and policy by way of democratic representation is asking the state, as we once had led by a king, not to state. That's the great expirement.
