It's also interesting to go back and look at the advent of policing, which was literally to harass and institutionalize the homeless and unemployed. Rather than address the sources of those problems, they punish people who suffer from them.
Police were created with the sole purpose to " harass and institutionalize the homeless and unemployed"? LOL what nonsense. I'm sure it was part of their M.O., but it wasn;t their raison d'etre Please post evidence for this claim.
