The Rise of Police Brutality

This all begs the question: Do police departments create sociopaths or do they just attract them? It is a particular variety of deviance, sexual sadism, that is displayed in numerous videos involving the brutalization of women (and some men). Sexual sadists receive a sexual thrill from terrorizing and brutalizing their victims; they perversely delight in the control that they have over them. This perverse delight is illustrated in numerous video accounts widely distributed on the internet. Why are so many sexual sadists wearing uniforms? Most likely they are attracted to the power and authority that their positions endow them with.

When one begins to examine the history of the United States and our Constitution, the question arises: Are police departments legal? Moreover, are they really necessary or desirable in a free republic. Police brutality, a term which doesn’t really cover the reality of police crimes against innocents – its depth and breadth, which is one of the worst forms of tyranny across this nation – is the norm and not the exception.

People must wake up to this reality. They must overcome their cognitive dissonance and realize that the police have never existed to protect and serve the public. The exist to protect and serve their masters, the elite members of government. It has been that way since the inception of the first police departments in the U.S. The Boston Police Department, an inherently racist organization, existed to quell riots between new immigrants from Ireland and Italy. The New York Police Department was created to protect wealthy Manhattanites from the perceived dangers of immigrants that they perceived as rabble.

Any good that police do is completely overshadowed by their unspeakable crimes; crimes which are not usually committed on camera, but in the shadows.

The police have never served citizens and never will. History should be reviewed and the roles of the police should be put into their proper perspective. They must be brought out of the shadows and a brighter light must be shined on their crimes. Governance must be returned to the good citizens of the United States of America.
