Official narrative
Police are public servants who exist to impartially carry out the law, for the benefit of all of society.
Concerns
Increasingly many "democracies" are moving towards de facto police state status, while maintaining the trappings of civil society and party politics.
The very name "Police Force" yields insight into the assumptions behind the concept. Police are arguably a relatively new invention, and have from their inception been focused on protecting the property of the rich (as might be expected from that fact that laws tend to have the same bias).
Examples
The apparent indifference of the US Justice Department to the rampant violence of some police in the USA[1] have lead to allegations that the US is a Police state.
The UK Police is relatively much more restrained, though they are not without corruption and appear to be following the US model of yielding to the influence of big money, and have been co-opted by those pedalling the "war on terror".
Examples
| Page name | Description |

| Canada Border Services Agency | Canadian federal agency that is responsible for border protection and surveillance, immigration enforcement and customs services. |
