It's the very nature of the job: power corrupts.

Yeh the polices prime role when it comes down to many emergencies & riots etc is to protect corporate power not democracy, many dont realise until its too late, at same time its probably not a good idea to dehumanise them in the same way that some of them dehumanise activists.
The old lady picture doesnt shock me, I know that riot police can be capable of more than your average copper, at same time, we could argue all soldiers are worse scum they murder alot of people in Iraq, or that all robbers are scum as they many mostly rob other working class people.
In general definetely not trusting police & telling them nothing is the best policy, at same time we do need to communicate with them, successful social revolutions often involve support from non corrupt police officers who support democracy& as some one whoes suffered abuse as a child I have to say detention-therapy centres for serious criminals & at least specials would be necessary in a direct democracy-anarchic society, which would have rules. Most activists in a way are actually already like specials anway, most have jobs & play active roles in human rights, neighbourhood watch including ethical direct action where appropriate, any Ive got to get to a ska night,cya's. Nice post thanks, I must admit part of me wouldnt mind "rehabilitating" that copper in the pic personally, Ive received the same & worse from some of the mets finest
