      Communities defend communities.

      Swearing to protect is vapid symbolism that anyone can feign with ease, and the laws are rarely decided by the people subject to them. The fact that so many people trust state police is amazing once we take a step back and analyse it.

      Interesting case studies include real places that evicted police and politicians.

      Those swearing they will protect the law (or any thing else) are usually not the ones actually doing it
