They are agents of authority and do the bidding of their masters. We do have some writings about the police here somewhere. I don't have a great love for them either. If their jobs were to be as fair and balanced as they could be- but they tend to be unfair and imbalanced when it comes to the breeding grounds, as they call the lower classes.
If they'd just stick to their jobs and not enforce the doctrines of society then the whole nature of oppression could receive a facelift- be the example that they were designed to be- not the enforcers of elitist based laws. Power corrupts and privilege usually ensues. These people feel above us and so find it easty to dehumanize us when we confront them in a crisis situation.
Everyone knows the deal is fixed and the police are there to maintain that order. Doesn't mean there aren't good people doing their jobs though! The same is true in politics or religion- just not enough good people to maintain that level of excellence. It's a universal problem here on planet earth.
Leonard Cohen- Everybody Knows
(co-written by Sharon Robinson)
Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows that the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows that the boat is leaking
Everybody knows that the captain lied
Everybody got this broken feeling
Like their father or their dog just died
Everybody talking to their pockets
Everybody wants a box of chocolates
And a long stem rose
Everybody knows
Everybody knows that you love me baby
Everybody knows that you really do
Everybody knows that you've been faithful
Ah give or take a night or two
Everybody knows you've been discreet
But there were so many people you just had to meet
Without your clothes
And everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
And everybody knows that it's now or never
Everybody knows that it's me or you
And everybody knows that you live forever
Ah when you've done a line or two
Everybody knows the deal is rotten
Old Black Joe's still pickin' cotton
For your ribbons and bows
And everybody knows
And everybody knows that the Plague is coming
Everybody knows that it's moving fast
Everybody knows that the naked man and woman
Are just a shining artifact of the past
Everybody knows the scene is dead
But there's gonna be a meter on your bed
That will disclose
What everybody knows
And everybody knows that you're in trouble
Everybody knows what you've been through
From the bloody cross on top of Calvary
To the beach of Malibu
Everybody knows it's coming apart
Take one last look at this Sacred Heart
Before it blows
And everybody knows
Everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
Oh everybody knows, everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
