And that's what they do. They are supposed to be guarding us against threats but then they start to preceive everything as a threat, including lawful political activitism.

I think it's even more mundane and evil than perceiving us as threats.

They perceive us as a resource of arrests and prosecutions, for good job performance evaluations.

They are supposed to guard the people but job security and mission creep means their priority becomes guarding themselves. This should come as a shock, unfortunately it does not.
