@aral Honestly, I don't understand this...I just don't. Why do police protect a devil?

@MaryTheKnife “The origins of modern-day policing [in the US] can be traced back to the ‘Slave Patrol.’ The earliest formal slave patrol was created in the Carolinas in the early 1700s with one mission: to establish a system of terror and squash slave uprisings with the capacity to pursue, apprehend, and return runaway slaves to their owners.”
