The Boston massacre was basically an anti-police riot that turned into a police shooting. The police were acquitted of the murder, which lead to more protests and an eventual revolution. Anytime someone says "real Americans support the police," I point back to that.

The local police in the nearby "pieceful" (verry rich) subarb tend to portray themselves as "just folks helping out (we also enforce bylaws)". the local city tends to have cops blatently break the law.

The antagonism is easy to see in the city. In the former, the former gives off a diffrent and hidden kind of oppression that Im in a position to only see the outer edge of (i dont live there).

Well put. I'd never thought of it that way.

That's a complete load of bullshit and it's sad people like you go through life thinking your fantasies are reality.
