Police most decidedly do things, even if they aren't the things you'd like them to do. We don't want then functioning independently of their civilian government, either. We want to be that government.
No one wants to be a government. That's fucking stupid. Governments suck. No one participates in the system except through coercive action. When will 'the government' fix itself? It is all corrupted, yet they pretend to be above board and actually lawful. That is simply astounding.
The law, the Constitution, the Code of Hammurabi--they're all meaningless unless someone they are being enforced. One thing is certain, though: a society will be ruled. If the people will not maintain the presence to rule themselves, then someone else will do it.
Look at your fellow pedes. First, the military was going to ride in and fix this. Now, were upset that the police are doing exactly what the police have always done instead of riding in to fix this. We fix this, or it doesn't get fixed.
The government has surrendered nothing. In fact, they've claimed power prohibited to them by the Constitution. Did you notice what the Constitution has done in reply? Nothing, because it's a set of ideas.
My point is that ideas don't do anything without people to carry them forward.

So you admit defeat then?
The government has surrendered.
