The police are also, supposed to maintain order.
The police were invented so the weak and helpless, don't get their lunch money taken each and every day.
Maybe the IRS would be a better example.
Everyone, to some degree, cheats on their taxes... as much as they can.
If the IRS was accountable to the "people", the entire system would fall apart.
It's like putting money in Free Parking, in Monopoly. With say four good monopoly players... that will... break the bank.
That's why money in Free Parking is NOT in the rules. Because as the game is built... it doesn't work. It kills the game.
Right now we're going through "growing pains" as a country.
We should be learning to take MSM with a grain of salt, to take advertising with a grain of salt.
We should be learning why real education is important, and not this BS that goes on in schools these days.
Its. why, for example the best people should get the jobs, or into higher level schooling. It shouldn't be based on what color, or sex, or creed the applicants are.
People need to learn to.... think. But they also need to learn about the things they're doing the thinking about.
When you cut away all the BS... the DOJ is the oversight for the police... NOT "the people".
The only thing the "people" have the right to oversee is themselves, and to make sure... our govt. gets three "able" parts (executive, legislative and judicial).
That's the people's JOB.
If they don't do their JOB... those three sides of our govt. will take it on themselves to decide who their members are.
Then that defeats the purpose of the three branches of govt.
The way our system was designed, the people need to vote and they need to vote well.
Sometimes they NEED to elect the Trumps over the Bidens, because of the choices we were offered... Trump WAS the better man.
All Biden is... is a puppet of the Congress... oops, there's one branch of the system of checks and balances... gone.
Now... Congress or some in Congress are trying to influence/control the judicial branch.
At this point in time... the Congress branch is using MSM to brainwash the voters.
Time to wake up people. If you don't... you're gonna end up with a dictatorship.
tl;dr version
The police can't be answerable to the "people". They need to only be answerable to the DOJ.
The police are "supposed" to "police" the people. That's their job.
If you don't like how they're doing it... then vote... better.
The police were invented to catch runaway slaves. And saying the police should only be answerable to the DoJ is ceding state and local authority to the federal government. Which is also stupid. Since police have proven themselves to be unwilling to "take out their own trash", so to speak, without ceding authority to the federal government, there needs to be some form of accountability to a local or state authority when misconduct happens. I'm not saying they should be directly accountable to the individual citizenry (mob rule). But there needs to be a means where when they screw up, they can be held accountable. This can take the form of an elected board (or one appointed by elected officials), or it can be via the courts when necessary. Police are not above the laws they're supposed to uphold.
