What's so difficult about increasing police salaries? How hard is it to hire sensible people into our police?

The answer is simple. It's easier to manipulate and control people when you make them so poor that they depend on your "goodness" to survive.

It's also much easier to
keep them loyal, i.e, doing your bidding, when they don't know what their own rights are, don't know what they should be getting compared with their contemporaries elsewhere and don't know the procedures for insisting they get better treatment.

So, yes, ending SARS is not in the
best interest of our political "elite". The way the police is currently structured is perfect for their purposes. Why do you think they make promises to reform the police and policing and do absolutely nothing each time?

They did not forget and it's not even the fault of their
trademark incompetence. They straight-up do not want a better police; a police that would realise that they have been consistently short-changed by those they risk their lives to protect instead of those the law empowers them to protect.

Make no mistake: when I say police here
I mean the rank and file. Those in the upper levels are equally complicit in this scheme. I mean, how else do you keep your men loyal if you don't make them depend on you for everything and even at that, you give them less than enough just so you can keep
them docile and dependent.

I had to create this thread so we can understand what we are up against: a government that has absolutely no intention of reforming the police or ending SARS and really just wants things to continue they way they have been.

That is why, instead of
attending to protesters' demands, they are throwing their entire arsenal at unarmed citizens. Someone that's willing to do what you asked does not fight this bad to not do it so whenever I see politicians "appeal" for the protests to be called off, I find it amusing. They don't
want to do what we want. They're not hiding it. They've sent the same police and thugs after us to harass us and destroy our property. They have told all kinds of lies on traditional media and would have sold same on social media if citizens didn't cal out their BS. And all while
they did all these, they were telling us "we have heard your demands. Go home and give us time to implement them".

Well, you guys could start with calling back both your government-sanctioned and hired thugs.

So long as we are not seeing any commitment to listen and act, we
remain on these streets and we remain in this struggle.
