64. Your magic protectors and keepers of the sacred order are nearly worthless

and would be far worse than worthless if they didn't create a deterrence in middle and upper class suburbs, which happens due to those folks having a little money and political influence as a group which means they see public servants at less of the SS monkey ass Lords of Blue. Those in the most need of service and protection get ignored or the jackbooted thug shakedown routine.

The police are a gang of cowardly fuckers seeking authority well beyond their capability and intellect for financial security and benefits like any other worker that come together as an armed band with the blessing of the state that think themselves better and superior to the people they are supposed to serve not a benchmark.
