    Wait, which is meant to be serving and protecting the people? Because it isn’t the police, and I don’t think it’s the military… 🤔

      I think in theory the police are meant to. But the ‘theory’ part of that sentence is doing a lot of heavy lifting.

        Only it was never the theory either, the police has always been the violent enforcer of the state towards its own population.

      The National Guard protects and serves quite a bit after natural disasters. Maybe it’s referring to that?
