These are terms of agreement. And individual should not be expected to negotiate terms of agreement regarding the safety of his own family in his own house.
Alright fair enough. I guess these comparisons aren't making the gap of literalism. Not sure what else I can say.

Nah, I feel what you're saying man. And I appreciate the debate. I just think it's not so black and white, on both sides, but I do know one thing, and that's the fact that no one can, or will ever convince me that I'm better off with 2 knuckles, a baseball bat, and a couple steak-knives.

The police are a gang that exists for economic reasons, because the economy is bad.
The police serve to protect stores, and banks, and property, because if they did not protect it it would put it at risk.
So, the police beat up the people for the money, and greed.
Police Brutality happens all the time, but the police do it, so they threaten the person or people who see them that they will be at their doorstep, since they are the police.
They never get caught.
Most cops commit police brutality, but cannot be prosecuted, beacuse they are the law.
Police are the main economic asset in capitalism.
Any doubts or critiscm of the U.S. justice system or the police will get you arrested.
That is reality.
Fight back and die or get arrested for justice, or accept it and do nothing and wath until the whole world turns into one big police state.
The choice is yours.

Every cop ever? Seriously? Give us a break and grow up a little. Come back with an intelligent perspective.

Every cop ever commits police brutality of some kind, but hardly ever get caught, because they are the law, and cannot be prosecuted.

Sure there's corruption in the police force but to say that EVERY cop is a brutal tool of the system is a very ignorant thing to say. I know some wonderful people that are cops. Granted, I'm middle class, female, white, and I behave myself most of the time but these are good people with families. They are performing a service. Some of them have good intentions, some want to make the communities they live in a better place. I think you would do good to start attacking the system rather than the individuals.

I was caught be a cop one when I was setting little fires near a middle school. I was scolded and such, but he was a very understanding and nice guy and he even gave me a ride home. I wasn't beaten, arrested, or mistreated. Most of the cops I've met will respect you if you respect them and talking to them can be an interesting (and sometimes scary) experience.

Really? So police beating people up gets them more money or keeps them employed? If you can come up with any cohesive statement about how police beating people gets them more money or feeds their greed, I would love to hear it. I hate when people try to argue that the police are around solely to protect the economy. They're here to protect you. That's why people that rape, murder, and steal go to jail. They're protecting society in general, which just so happens to rely very heavily on the economy these days. And you're argument isn't even that, you say banks and stores would be at risk if there weren't police. Are you saying that's a good thing? These kinds of statements are why anarchists get a bad name.
