This implies there was ever a time cops weren’t violent pieces of shit.

I’ve heard many stories of cops in the 80s regularly beating on people in my area.

In fact, sociologists like to say cops were invented in America specifically make sure slaves stayed indentured to their owners.

Sure, but they weren't as militarised back then. They were violent pieces of shit with sticks rather than machineguns.

Exactly, they beat the shit out of them because they couldn't turn them to swiss cheese as easily. A revolver only has so many bullets before you have to stand there and load them back in.
