AMERICA AND THE WORLD ON POLICE USE AND OTHER POSSIBILITIES .....
In the U.S. now the system maintains roughly 18000 confirmed police stations, at all levels of county, State and Federal levels, employing more that 1,2 million agent, full and part time, compared to 1.6 millions in China which is 4.5 times as populated. They are all extremely well armed, almost to army standards with war gear and equipment matching those of the best armed forces of the world, maybe only short of nuclear power. It's becoming a too strong and dangerous force by itself, especially with the type of funding, training, brainwashing, and background of their white dominance and majority.
The same proportions are applicable in many countries, huge police forces backed tightly by secret services agencies and private and public paramilitary organisations. all these and we're not talking about incarceration and prisons, which are in America both private business and federal. They have their own trained guards and police forces, all licensed to arrest and kill.
Enumerating them all here is beyond our scope, but Syria, Israel, Russia, China, most Latin America and the US.of A. are all maintaining very well equipped and well funded Police forces, strengthened, armed and militarized to better dominate their populations, or at least parts of them, the less fortunate ones, while they faithfully serve the ruling classes, and their economical cartels and corporations, thus actively helping create and widen the existing inequalities in every society.
The new political trends in America and many parts of the world are a somewhat return to fascism, replacing the older classical military coup, and dictatorships, nowadays we see many politicians elected democratically by using naive and tired populations and promising them riches and past glory and domination, using demagogy and faking it all the way.
Again the U.S. Israel, Brazil and Hungary, even democracies like India or Britain, they all share these new modern trends. All playing and applying from the same book, the same tunes, the same political games and rhetoric. all striving to achieve the exact same end-results, remaining in power, and achieving their interests, with their oligarchies and families as a sole priority.
They are all using police forces as the ideal tool to keep everyone under tight control, as police forces are more maniable than big armies and armed forces, and having less competition from generals and higher ranks. In today's world and times we all cannot afford anymore Trumps, Assads, Netanyahus, Bolsonaros, Urbans, Erdogans and Putins. Nor the classical theocracies of the Middle-East, Islamic or Zionist.
This situation reminds me of several other political similar issues in the Trump era, like health care and immigration, wealth inequality, corporate power and total social neglect at all levels of the population. On all these issues progressives are pushing for policy changes that are popular with most voters, as in fairer taxation, better police accountability, healthcare to all, affordable education and not just elitist products all over, but the most dangerous would be the stealing of the position and power should he loose the election, and he will need a machine like the police forces.
We cannot afford opportunistic profiteers, we're too crowded of a world, and we need economical stability, less armament and more fair equality, we need more cooperation and better global visions. Do we need aliens and space invaders to unite us ?? Do we always need enemies, foreign or domestic to unite and think commonly ?? Isn't it high time to wise up and mature and show less greed??
My usual many thanks to all, stay safe.
