Support your local police state
"Democracy is the art of inducing victims of government power to focus on the question of who controls the government, rather than what it does. The same can be said of the perspective encapsulated in the slogan Support Your Local Police” (SYLP).

As sociologist David Bayley pointed out, 'The police are to the government as the edge is to the knife.' The police are an implement of coercion wielded by the political class, whether they are operationally under the control of Washington, D.C. or City Hall."
